Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup ricotta or cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of garlic powder optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet + parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Lay half the pepperoni slices on the sheet.
  3. Mix mozzarella, ricotta (or cream cheese), Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

  5. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are crispy and cheese is melted.

Notes

Do not overfill. Parchment prevents sticking. Best eaten warm. Reheat in air fryer for crispiness. Excellent for keto, low-carb, and high-protein snacks. Double the batch for groups. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
