Description
Fast and crunchy pepperoni cheese crisps that deliver bold flavor with minimal effort, perfect for game day or quick appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 40–50 slices of pepperoni (approximately 4 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Red pepper flakes, for a spicy kick
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix well.
- Add Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the cheese mixture. Toss to combine. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- If pepperoni slices are large, cut them in half.
- Place pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each slice.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over each pepperoni slice.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the pepperoni is crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with marinara for dipping. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
