What You Need To Make This Easy Pepperoni Cheese Crisps Recipe?

Pizza Pepperoni Slices: Choose your favorite brand of pepperoni. The slices should be thin and flavorful. Adding a savory kick. To the cheesy goodness of the crisps.
Steps To Make Easy Pepperoni Cheese Crisps:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Take a nonstick muffin tin. Place one slice of pepperoni. At the bottom of each cup.
Step 3: Sprinkle the grated cheeses over the pepperoni. Ensuring it just covers the slice. Flatten the cheese so it lies flat over the pepperoni. And doesn’t stick up. Or touch the sides of the tin.
Step 4: Place the muffin tin in the oven. Bake for about 8 minutes. The edges should be dark brown and crispy. While the center should remain slightly soft.
Step 5: Remove from the oven. And let the crisps cool in the tin. For at least 5 minutes. Before transferring them to a plate. Enjoy!
Tip:
For the crispiest pepperoni cheese crisps. Ensure the cheese is spread evenly. And flattened over each pepperoni slice. This helps the cheese cook uniformly. Preventing any chewy. Or undercooked spots. If you don’t have a nonstick muffin tin. Using a silicone baking mat. Or lining a regular muffin tin with parchment paper. Will make it easier to remove the crisps. And achieve even browning. Additionally, keep a close eye on the baking time. Start checking at around 7 minutes. Cheese can go from perfectly crispy. To burnt very quickly. So watch for edges that turn a deep golden brown. While the center remains slightly soft. Letting the crisps cool in the tin for a few minutes. Helps them firm up. And makes removal easier. Enjoy your perfectly crispy. And delicious snack!
