Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese

Meat

48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni

Optional Seasoning

Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the interior of a mini muffin pan, focusing on 16 cups since this recipe makes 16 chips.
Assemble Chips: Add 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased muffin cup. Lightly press the cheese down to form a compact base. Place 3 mini pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese in each cup. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of Italian seasoning on top to enhance the flavor.
Bake Chips: Bake the assembled chips for about 8 minutes or until the edges turn a dark golden brown, indicating crispiness.
Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool in the muffin pan until they are safe to handle. Remove the chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Using low moisture mozzarella helps the chips crisp up better without releasing too much liquid.
Greasing only the number of muffin cups you use prevents waste and makes cleanup easier.
Letting the chips cool slightly helps them firm up to a crisp texture.
Italian seasoning is optional, but adds a nice herby flavor that complements the pepperoni and cheese.
These chips are best eaten warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two and reheated.
