With a busy schedule, it’s understandable that you prefer not to make fancy appetizers or snacks - be it for home or a potluck. This pizza cup recipe fills the gap by using pre-made pizza crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. This is kid-friendly (but watch out for the adults, too!).
- 1 package of pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup of cheese (more if desired)
- 1 cup of sauce (more if desired)
- Mini Pepperoni
Oil a muffin tin
Cut your dough into 12 equal squares
Press them down into the muffin well
Put about 1 tbsp sauce in each cup (spread it)
Sprinkle each with equal amounts of shredded cheese
Add the pepperoni and any other desired toppings
Place in the oven for 10 minutes, watching for slight browning on the dough and fully melted cheese.
Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Dessert Anyone?
You can use the pizza squares to make dessert, too. Just put them into the greased muffin pan and fill. Things like jam, apple sauce, and pie filling are all options. Add a buttered crumble, mixed with brown sugar, to the top. Are you feeling kid-like? Use peanut butter and jelly in the cups.
