Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese Ensure cheese is shredded finely for even melting.
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Experiment with different seasonings for added flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the mozzarella into 16 small mounds, giving them plenty of space between each one.
  3. Gently spread each mound into a small circle.
  4. Sprinkle each circle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  5. Place one pepperoni slice in the center of each cheese round.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are deeply golden.
  2. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, allowing the chips to firm and crisp up.
  3. Carefully remove from the parchment paper and serve.

Notes

Serve warm for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Avoid stacking too closely together.
