Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24 slices pepperoni Forms the base of the crisp and releases flavorful oils when baked.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melts smoothly and provides a stretchy, creamy texture.
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds depth of flavor and assists in browning.
Optional Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese Enhances the savory taste and creates extra crisp edges.
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning For added flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder Brings a flavorful kick.
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes For a spicy touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the pepperoni slices on the baking sheet with space between them.
  3. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on each pepperoni slice, followed by a small amount of cheddar cheese. Optionally, add parmesan and Italian seasoning.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes on the tray.
