Pizza or Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Grease a 12-cup muffin pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 1 cup mozzarella, and pepperoni. Mix in the milk and beaten egg. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Stir the batter and divide among the muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni.
Bake until puffed and golden, about 16-18 minutes.
Notes
These muffins would be great with any variety of toppings, think sausage and peppers or maybe ham and pineapple, or for all of you olive lovers, add black olives in with the pepperoni. The muffins freeze well so they are great to make ahead of time. When ready to eat, preheat oven to 350 degrees, place frozen muffins on a baking sheet, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until warm.
