Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
I had pepperoni pizza puffs on my mind lately. I’ve made them before, but wanted to make them a little more pizza-like.
These are a tasty little bread treat that are super easy to make. The pepperoni and cheese gives them the flavors pizza, especially when you dip it in a side of marinara sauce. To make them taste even more like a pizza, I sprinkled some Italian seasoning on them this time.
I love making this appetizer when I’m short on time. Yum!

These are absolutely adorable! They sound like they would be easy to adapt with different add-ins and flavours too. I’m bookmarking this recipe for the next party/potluck I go to – I have a feeling if I made them for myself for dinner I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from eating the whole batch!

They are really versatile. I’ve done different cheese and different meat fillings, though pepperoni and cheese is my favorite combination.

Love this recipe! I did bacon, cheddar, onion puffs with chives. They were awesome! Thanks! Dipped them in ketchup, they didn’t last more than 10 minutes in front of my fam.

What a great variation. Sound delicious. I wish I had some chives so I could try adding it. Glad your family enjoyed these!

As you discovered, your puffs were so yummy looking I couldn’t help but make them myself IMMEDIATELY! Your pictures are better than mine though
Anyway, I can’t wait to try different variations. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love making these, especially for appetizer night. The last time I made them I used bacon instead of pepperoni (I had forgotten to purchase it). They, of course, still tasted awesome.

I’ve done the bacon one too! I really like it but my family prefers the pepperoni

Lol, what a great idea! it’s definitely one your daughter and friends can make.

How many does this recipe yield?? Trying to decide if I should double it or not
Kirbie replied: — September 25th, 2011 @ 9:29 am
It makes about 2 dozen mini ones

I made these but I used ham, pineapple, pepper jack cheese and unflavoured almond milk (that is what I had). I also used regular sized muffin tins. My husband and I both thought they were delicious!

Ooh, ham and pineapple. Sounds good. Never thought of making a Hawaiian style pizza version.
