Pepperoni and Cheese Crisps
First things first, let’s get visual! Here’s what your crispy creation should resemble. One look, and you’ll be saying, “Why did I ever settle for boring snacks?”
Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and gather the magic ingredients that will make your taste buds dance:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, because who doesn’t like a little extra kick?)
- Parchment paper (for those “not sticking” issues—trust me, it can get messy)
Now, onto the easy-peasy instructions that even a five-year-old could probably handle (but maybe don’t let them near the oven):
- Preheat your oven to a sizzling 400°F (200°C). It’s time to get things hot and steamy—not that kind of steamy, come on).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it’s nice and flat—no one likes a lumpy runway for their crisps.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning. This is your cheesy base that will hold everything together like a grandparent holds onto their bingo card.
- Place tablespoon-sized mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can flatten them a bit for that classic crisp look. They should be about 2 inches apart because, remember, they need their personal space. No crispy congestion here!
- Add a slice of pepperoni on top of each mound, or if you’re feeling wild, create a mini pepperoni masterpiece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Pro tip: don’t wander off to binge-watch another episode of your favorite show—you might forget about these beauties!
- Once they’re done, allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. When they’re firm enough to handle, transfer them to a plate—or just eat them straight off the parchment. We won’t judge!
And just like that, you’ve made yourself some utterly addictive Pepperoni and Cheese Crisps. So put your feet up, grab a drink, and enjoy. Honestly, who needs chips when you have these delicious munchies? Crunch on!
