Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second intervals until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.
- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir in the melted cheese mixture until well combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
- Add Egg: Beat the egg and add it to the dough. Mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the chopped pepperoni and grated Parmesan cheese if using.
- Form the Puffs: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. They will spread a bit, so leave some space between each puff.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza puffs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pizza puffs cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips:
- Toppings: Feel free to experiment with different keto-friendly toppings in your pizza puffs. Some great options include cooked bacon, sausage, or finely chopped vegetables.
- Storage: Store leftover pizza puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and keto-friendly pizza puffs!
