- 1 cup Pepperoni (can use assorted veggies for vegetarian option)
Instructions

- Top Your Pizzas: Add your chosen toppings, such as pepperoni or assorted vegetables, on top of the cheese.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crusts are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent burns and allow flavors to set.
