Ingredients

24 slices Deli Pepperoni Ask for thin sliced for snacks. Not Shaved.
12 Cherry Tomatoes sliced in half
1.5 cups Mozzarella shredded or "fresh" mozzarella balls. * see tips in post
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning *optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F
Snip four, 1/2 inch cuts around the outside of your pepperoni. Leave the center uncut. See post for clarification.
Press pepperoni into your mini muffin tin to make little cups. They will resemble flowers.
Bake for 5 minutes. The pepperoni will be bright red but not browning yet.
Add the 1/2 tomato to the cup, a sprinkle of Italian Seasoning and fill the rest of the cup with mozzarella. Add any additional topping you choose. *See post tips for suggestions.
Bake an additional three minutes or until cheese is melted and pepperoni is slightly browned around the edges.
Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and serve. See post for storage and reheating info. ( Honestly, they never last that long around here).
