The name “muffin pan” doesn’t do it justice: This versatile baking tray also turns out perfectly portioned pizzas! We topped our mini pies with turkey pepperoni, but feel free to experiment with extras like sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or leftover cooked chicken. Serve as a game-day appetizer or as a fun family snack.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

6 spray(s)

Frozen pizza crust dough

1 pound(s), thawed (or refrigerated dough)

Store-bought pizza sauce

Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

18 tbsp(s), (1 cup plus 2 tbsp)

Turkey pepperoni

24 piece(s), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and press into the bottom and up the sides of each cup in the pan. Add 1 tbsp sauce, 11⁄2 tbsp cheese, and 1 tbsp pepperoni to each dough-lined muffin cup.
  3. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes in the pan before removing. Serve warm.
