This is a great change from every day pizza! We love pizza in our house including grilled pizza, Pizza Pasta Salad or even a cheesy Pizza Pasta Bake!
These pizza puffs are not only delicious, they’re quick and easy to whip up! The texture is nice and fluffy with a cheesy flavor!
I added red pepper and pepperoni but you can definitely add in your favorite toppings. If you add in extra veggies (such as mushrooms) with a high water content, be sure to cook them first.
Be sure to grease your pan VERY well, or they will stick! To release them from the pan, run a butter knife around the edges of each puff and gently lift them out!
