Ingredients

Main

  • 1
    0.5 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2
    0.25 cup Pepperoni Slices

Directions

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the cheese crisps will cook evenly. If you don't have an oven, a toaster oven can be used, or a non-stick skillet.

2

Prepare Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier. If you don't have either, lightly grease the baking sheet.

3

Arrange Cheese

Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese onto the prepared baking sheet in small, flat circles, leaving some space between each circle. About 2 tablespoons of cheese per crisp. Ensure that the cheese is not piled too high to promote even melting and crisping.

Add Pepperoni

Place 3-5 pepperoni slices on top of each cheese circle, slightly overlapping. This will allow the flavors to meld as they cook. If using larger pepperoni slices, you can cut them into smaller pieces.

5

Bake Crisps

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the edges are crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning. The pepperoni edges should look slightly curled and crispy.

6

Cool Crisps

Remove the baking sheet from the oven using oven mitts. Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them to become even more crispy. Be careful, as they will be very hot!

Recipe Tips

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking.
  • If you're using a skillet, cook the crisps over medium-low heat until the cheese melts and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Store leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For best crispness, they are best consumed fresh.
