Ingredients
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup diced pepperoni
1/2 cup store-bought pizza sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt and red pepper flakes. Whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni. Let mixture stand for 10 minutes. Stir the batter then divide it among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through and serve with the puffs for dipping.
Let’s Dish
These are a big hit at our house. I usually double the batch and I never have leftovers. Although they are meant to be an appetizer, I often make them for dinner because they’re such a kid friendly meal. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think these would be great with sausage too.
Who Dished It Up First
This is a Rachael Ray recipe, but I found it over at Lick the Bowl Good.
I think I saw these over on Noble Pig – I must make them. They look great. Good football watching snacks
I have been eyeing these little puffs from Monica’s blog….now you have really encouraged me to make them too!
These are a must try and would work for me for a meal!
I will definitely try! My son is picky but loves his pizza! This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing

These sound great!! I bet they would go over really well at a football party or something similar!
I just made Monica’s sliders and they were a hit with my family as well. I haven’t tried these yet but have been meaning to….thanks for the push!

No kids in this household but I can totally see me and my boyfriend eating these for a meal
Wow — this looks like something my husband and I would greatly enjoy!
My kids will love this. How fun and yummy!
Great! – will add this to the collection I’m sure my daughter would love them!
I’m definitely making these tonight! Been looking for something savory to bake!
I’m glad you and the kids liked these! I think you’re right about the addition of sausage- YUM!
Thanks for linking back to my blog- I appreciate it!
Yes indeedy – those look delicious. If I had kids, they wouldn’t get any! – Gary

Only question is, if I make these do I have to share?
Adorable little pizza puffs. Perfect appetizer, I’ll have to try these.
I’ve saved this one for the next football party. Perfect!
Made these last week and they were really good. We made a pepperoni version and an italian sausage and pepperoni version. Next time I would do pepperoni, bell pepper, and mushroom.
