Equipment

  • 1 Muffin tin (12-cup)
  • 1 Cooking spray (Non-stick)

  • ½ cup Pizza sauce - Thick marinara
  • 1 ½ cups Mozzarella cheese - Shredded
  • 12 slices Pepperoni - Regular or mini
  • 1 tablespoon Butter - Melted
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder - For crust
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh basil - Chopped

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin generously.

Notes

Place a pinch of cheese at the bottom of the dough cup before adding sauce to prevent a soggy crust. Brush the edges with garlic butter for extra flavor.
