Just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes! These mini pepperoni pizza cups have the amazing classic pepperoni pizza taste. The crouton is the "crust," and you can customize the toppings however you like. So cute, so delicious, and a perfect party appetizer—this recipe is just fun to make and eat.

Ingredients

24 large deli-style slices pepperoni
24 croutons (from 1 bag croutons)
1 1/2 cups prepared pizza sauce, such as Rao’s® Homemade Pizza Sauce
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (5 ounce) package mini pepperoni

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Using kitchen shears, snip four 1/2-inch cuts around the edges of each large pepperoni slice, leaving the center uncut.
In a 24-count mini muffin pan, press each pepperoni down, followed by a crouton, a spoonful of pizza sauce, cheese, and mini pepperonis.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
