Ingredients

• 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces provolone cheese
• 30 slices pepperoni
• 0.5 cup prepared pizza sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 13x18-inch, half-sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate provolone and mozzarella cheeses with the larger side of a box grater into a large bowl. Use the smaller side and grate in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Toss with your hands to combine.

Step 3

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until melted and sizzling, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to bake remaining 18 chips.

Step 5

Let chips cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the parchment paper and serve.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture into 12 circular piles on the prepared baking sheet, making sure you're getting all three cheeses in each scoop. Top each circle with about ¾ teaspoon pizza sauce, then place a slice of pepperoni on top.

Step 7

Remove parchment paper and chips to a wire rack to cool. Line the baking sheet with a fresh sheet of parchment paper.
