Easy Pizza Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 8 medium cherry tomatoes
• 1 (11 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust
• 8 teaspoons shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup pizza sauce (such as Classico®)
• 8 teaspoons finely chopped red onion
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 slices pepperoni, quartered
• Italian seasoning to taste
• red pepper flakes to taste
• garlic salt to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 8 muffin cups in a muffin tin well with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, ensuring you drain any excess liquid. Set aside the chopped tomatoes.
3. Unroll the pizza crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out thinly into a large rectangle. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out 8 dough circles.
4. Gently place each dough circle into the greased muffin cups. Press the dough to fit along the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.
5. Place 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese into each prepared dough cup. Top with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, then add the chopped tomatoes and red onions.
6. Add another 1 tablespoon of mozzarella to each cup. Top with pepperoni slices. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt over each cupcake.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let the pizza cupcakes cool in the muffin tins for about 5 minutes.
8. Carefully remove the pizza cupcakes from the tin and serve immediately while hot and delicious!
