Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet (Standard or rimmed sheet pan)
  • 1 Parchment paper (Essential to prevent sticking)
  • 1 Measuring spoon (For tablespoon cheese mounds)
  • 1 Cooling rack (Helps crisps firm faster)

Ingredients

Basics

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - or substitute from options
  • 24 slices pepperoni - regular or turkey
  • 1 pinch garlic powder - optional
  • 1 pinch Italian herbs - optional

Alternative Cheese Options

  • sharp cheddar cheese - substitution
  • parmesan cheese - extra crunchy
  • pepper jack - for heat
  • mix of mozzarella + parmesan - best crisp + melt combo

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spoon 1-tablespoon mounds of shredded cheese onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Press one pepperoni slice onto each cheese mound.
  • Sprinkle optional garlic powder or Italian herbs if desired.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges turn golden and cheese bubbles.
  • Let crisps cool on the pan for 5 minutes before eating. Cooling allows them to firm up and become crunchy.
