- Cut larger pepperoni slices in half for a better fit on the baking sheet.
Cooking
- Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice.
- Generously sprinkle the cheese mixture over each pepperoni slice.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the pepperoni looks crispy.

Notes
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a fresh green salad. If storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
