- Cook Time: 8 to 10 minutes
- Total Time: 13 to 15 minutes
- Yield: 12 mini pizza snacks
- Category: Snack
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Mini crackers or mini pita rounds (e.g., Ritz Minis or small pita rounds)
- Pizza sauce (about 1 teaspoon per piece)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon per cracker)
- Pepperoni slices (1-2 per cracker)
- Mini bell pepper slices or olives (optional)
- Dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Arrange your mini crackers or pita rounds in a single layer on the tray, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each cracker — about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per piece.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, around 1 tablespoon (15 g) per cracker.
- Add pepperoni slices—usually one or two per cracker. If adding veggies like mini bell peppers or olives, place them now.
- Sprinkle a pinch of dried Italian herbs like oregano and basil on top.
- Optionally, finish with a light dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two to help the cheese set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use a thin layer of sauce to avoid sogginess. Shredding your own mozzarella cheese gives a creamier melt. Brush crackers lightly with olive oil if too dry. Watch closely near the end of baking to prevent burning. Can be reheated in toaster oven for best texture. Assemble toppings as a fun activity for kids.
