Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/3 cup milk (skim, 2% or whole)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni, diced
  • 1/2 cup salami, diced
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, dried basil and dried oregano.
  2. Beat the egg and pour into the dry ingredients along with the milk. Stir. Then add in the diced pepperoni, salami and mozzarella cheese. Let this batter rest for ~10 minutes.
  3. Spray a mini muffin tin or regular sized muffin tin with non-stick spray and spoon mixture into the cups. Bake for ~20 minutes, or until browned. I'd recommend to start checking in at 15 minutes. (Will make 24 mini or 12 regular size larger bites).Serve warm with warm marinara sauce or pizza sauce.
