Ingredients
  

Cheese Mixture
  • 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture) Provides that classic stretchy, gooey texture.
  • 50 grams shredded Parmesan cheese Adds a nutty, salty flavor that elevates the taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend that brings an aromatic punch of herbs.
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances the overall flavor with a subtle garlic essence.
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder Adds a mild sweetness and depth to the flavor profile.
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) For those who enjoy a little heat.
Toppings
  • 60 grams mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni Classic pizza topping, adding savory meatiness.
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce Optional for drizzling or dipping.
  • crumbled cooked bacon Optional for a smoky, crispy addition.
  • chopped black olives Provides a briny, savory flavor.
  • diced bell peppers Adds a fresh crunch and sweetness.
  • sliced jalapenos For an extra kick of spice.
  • dried oregano or basil Optional garnish to enhance presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Spoon approximately 15 grams of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each mound slightly and ensuring they are spaced at least 5 centimeters apart.
  4. Top each cheese disc with one or two mini pepperoni slices. Add optional toppings as desired, pressing lightly to adhere.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, observing closely to avoid over-browning. The cheese should be bubbling and the edges golden brown.
  2. Once done, remove the baking sheet and let the chips cool for 2 to 3 minutes to help them crisp up.
Serving
  1. Present the chips warm or at room temperature and serve alongside marinara sauce, garlic butter, ranch dressing, or spicy aioli for dipping.

Notes

For maximum crispiness, ensure each mound of cheese is spaced well and not too thick. Leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days but are best enjoyed fresh.
