Pepperoni Pizza Cups

pepperoni pizza cups

We love pizza. In fact that might even be an understatement. It’s a weekly staple in our house. And these pepperoni pizza cupsΒ are my new favorite way to make it at home.

pepperoni cups ingredients

Pepperoni Pizza Cup Ingredients
phyllo dough or wonton wrappers
marinara sauce
Hormel Pepperoni Pizza pieces
toppings of choice (I used chopped onions and green peppers)
shredded mozzarella cheese
a muffin tin

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place one folded sheet of phyllo dough or one wonton wrapper into the bottom of a muffin tin.
Bake for 5 minutes.
In each cup put 1 teaspoon of marinara sauce.
Then add your choice of toppings (for me the green pepper and onion).
Add a good pinch of shredded cheese (fill to the top of the cup).
Top with your pieces of pepperoni.
Bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Here we are in action making our pizza cups!

I love recipes that pull double or triple duty. I am happy to say that this is one of those. Serve these for lunch, an appetizer, or even part of dinner.

And with spring and warmer temperatures right around the corner I love how quickly these cook up. (Not too much time spent standing near a hot oven.)

Of course, who am I kidding. I love a quick meal year round. I also love that the kids can help make these. And that they can personalize their own cups by putting in just the ingredients that they want. Littlest and I love olives on ours, the twins want extra cheese, and my husband wants extra extra pepperoni.

Once they are finished baking just serve themΒ and watch them disappear!

    I’m not sure why, but my kids adore any food that’s mini. Mini pizzas, mini corn dogs, mini muffins. I know these pizza cups would be a hit.

    I could definitely make these–very easy!! And I do love pepperoni especially on pizza. I rarely buy the bags of it but if I did I would probably just eat it right out of the bag alternating with pieces of cheese and maybe a Ritz cracker or 10.!

      Thanks, Lynne! Phyllo dough can be a bit temperamental. I did follow the directions on my box for putting some plastic wrap and a damp towel over the dough I wasn’t actively working with. For these I folded the dough in half and then thirds before putting it into the muffin tin.
