# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
02 -
1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
03 -
12 slices pizza pepperoni
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even melting and crisping of cheese and pepperoni.
02 -
Place one slice of pepperoni into each cup of a nonstick or silicone muffin tin to shape the crisps and contain the cheese.
03 -
Combine grated cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl, then evenly spoon the mixture over each pepperoni slice, pressing gently without touching the edges of the muffin tin.
04 -
Bake for approximately 8 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and edges turn golden brown, monitoring closely near the end to prevent burning.
05 -
Allow the crisps to cool in the tin for 5 minutes so the cheese sets and the crisps firm up for easy removal.
