Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

Have you ever had a hankering for just a little taste of something?  Not a whole huge helping or anything, but just a bite or two would totally satisfy.

I love all the flavors in my pizza seasoning

If that little something tends to be pizza, then these are totally up your alley.

Truth: I just eyeball the amount of cheese.

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
Recipe adapted from Rachael Ray
 
3/4 cup flour 
3/4 tsp baking powder 
3/4 tsp pizza seasoning (or Italian seasoning, or dried oregano with a little crushed red pepper mixed in)
3/4 cup milk 
1 egg, lightly beaten 
2 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup) 
2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup) 
4 ounces turkey pepperoni, chopped (about 1 cup) 

1.  Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, seasoning, and baking powder; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the cheeses and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.

Make life easier: use a melon baller or cookie scoop for this

2.  Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

Aren't they cute??

These adorable little puffs are good enough to nibble on as-is.  But if you feel like taking this up a notch, heat up some marinara sauce for dipping. Soooo good!
