These Pepperoni Cheese Crisps combine the bold flavor of pepperoni with the satisfying crunch of baked cheese into a simple, two-ingredient snack. Quick to prepare and perfect for busy schedules, they make an ideal keto-friendly bite you can enjoy throughout the week.
I keep a batch of these in the fridge during the week because they’re fast to make and store well. I usually prepare them while doing weekend meal prep so I have an easy grab-and-go snack ready for busy workdays.
How to make cheese crisps?
The easiest method is to bake them in a nonstick muffin tin at 375°F (190°C) for about 5–8 minutes. Exact time depends on the cheese you use and how crisp you prefer the edges.
What type of cheese to use for cheese crisps?
Sharp cheddar and mozzarella both work very well—cheddar gives a rich, tangy crunch while mozzarella yields a chewier center with crispy edges. Many other hard or semi-hard cheeses will crisp nicely, so feel free to experiment with what you have on hand.
These crisps are great for parties, family gatherings, or an alternative movie-night snack instead of potato chips. They’re filling and flavorful, so you won’t be left hungry.
Happy low-carbing!
