Pizza Cups Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional toppings: sliced olives, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or cooked sausage
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Prepare the Dough: If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit slightly to fit into the muffin tin. If using pizza dough, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and press each piece into the muffin tin, forming a small cup shape.
- Assemble the Pizza Cups: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each dough cup. Add a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, then top with mini pepperoni slices or other desired toppings. Sprinkle each with Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the Pizza Cups cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Enjoy these fun, customizable Pizza Cups for a quick snack or party favorite that everyone will love!
