Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
  4. Top each cheese mound with a slice of pepperoni.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.
