Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Description
The Pepperoni Pizza Puffs combine two sheets of thawed puff pastry cut into squares, each shaped to fit a muffin tin cup. Inside each cup, a layer of pizza sauce is spread first, followed by cheese, several pepperoni slices, and topped with more cheese. Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit results in golden, crisp pastry that encases the bubbling cheese and pepperoni, creating a miniature pizza experience with a crispy outer texture and tender interior. The assembly ensures a balance of flavors and textures in every bite.
This recipe works well as a handheld snack or party appetizer due to its individual portion size and ease of preparation. The pepperoni adds a distinctive savory note, complemented by the melted mozzarella and tangy pizza sauce, making these puffs a comforting, satisfying treat.

Ingredients
- 2 heets puff pastry thawed (one 17.3-ounce box, frozen
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 8 ounces pepperoni sliced
Instructions

- Unfold the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares (like a hashtag #) to make a total of 18 pieces. Place each dough square into a muffin tin cup, and press down slightly to mold it to the cup.
- Add about 1/2 tablespoon of pizza sauce to each cup - enough to cover the bottom of each pastry. Next, add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese to each cup. Then, add about 5-6 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese before adding even more cheese on top.
- Bake the pizza puffs for 20 minutes unilt the cheese is melted and the pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
