Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Non-stick spray
  • 1 Spoon or cookie scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Take a small portion of the dough (about 1 tablespoon) and flatten it in your palm. Place a slice of pepperoni in the center.
  4. Enclose the pepperoni with the dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the dough is used.
  5. Place the cheese-filled pepperoni bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bite.
  6. Top each bite with a sprinkle of the additional shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the bites on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
Variations:
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Substitute turkey pepperoni for a lighter option.
- Mix in chopped green onions for extra flavor.
- Use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for variety.
