Ingredients
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
20–24 slices pepperoni
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix shredded cheddar and mozzarella with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place small mounds (about 1 tbsp each) of the cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each mound into a circular shape.
Place a slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound, pressing slightly so it adheres.
Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and crispy.
Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while warm for extra flavor.
Notes
Try using Parmesan, Gouda, or Pepper Jack for a different flavor profile.
Store leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For an extra-crispy texture, bake on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
