01 -

They taste like guilty comfort food but fit almost any eating plan
The cheese creates these incredible crispy edges that are impossible to stop eating

02 -

Do not skip the cooling step or the cheese will slide right off when you try to move them
Thin pepperoni slices burn faster than you would expect, so keep your eyes on the oven after minute 7

03 -

Buy pepperoni from the deli counter instead of prepackaged for way better flavor and texture
Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded bags for superior melting
