Dad used to make these on Sunday afternoons when we craved junk food. Just 2 ingredients for the ultimate crispy, salty crunch.

You can play with the flavor while still keeping the spirit of this two-ingredient snack. Try different cheeses: sharp cheddar for a stronger bite, Monterey Jack for extra melt, or a pizza blend if that’s what you have. If you like a little heat, use spicy pepperoni instead of regular. For slightly thicker, chewier bites, overlap two slices of pepperoni and top them with cheese as if they were one base. If your pepperoni is very greasy, you can blot the slices with a paper towel before adding cheese, or drain the bites briefly on paper towels after baking to cut down on the oil. For a crisper texture, leave them in the oven an extra minute or two, watching closely so the cheese doesn’t burn. Leftovers can be cooled, stored in the fridge, and reheated in a hot oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until the edges crisp back up. If you’re cooking for a crowd, use two baking sheets and rotate them halfway through so everything browns evenly.
