Keto Pizza Bites Delish

Easy Keto Pizza Bites (Plus Calphalon Muffin Pan Giveaway!)

INGREDIENTS
12 slices pepperoni slices while you can substitute smaller slices, you really will prefer large slices
12 mozzarella balls mini-sized
12 basil leaves fresh
12 toppings preferred
seasonings to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. While preheating the oven to 400 F, line 12 cups of a mini muffin tin with your pepperoni slices. While smaller slices can be layered, they really do fit and work so much better with large slices. (And to help aid that fit, you can make a few slits in the pepperoni slices from the edge toward the center to help the slices better fold and conform to the edges of the muffin tin.)
2. Bake 5 minutes before removing from the oven—though leave the oven on. Let cool 5-10 minutes, so the pepperoni can crisp back up.
3. In each muffin space, spoon ½ teaspoon of tomato paste into the bottom, layering it smoothly on top of your pepperoni cup. Follow up with a mozzarella ball and basil leaf in each cup, as well as any additional seasonings as you see fit. Return the muffin tin to the oven, baking another 3-5 minutes to let the cheese melt appropriately.
4. Remove your muffin tin from the oven and let cool 5-10 minutes before serving; use caution, as the cheese will likely still be quite hot.
