Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

By chelyc13

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 3/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
• 4 oz. pepperoni, diced (about 1 cup)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely diced.

Preparation

Step 1

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

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

Warm the pizza sauce, then stir in 1 tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 tablespoon basil. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.
