🍽️ What Makes These Crackers So Good?

The secret is the balance. The cracker stays crisp while the cheese melts perfectly, the sauce adds tangy richness, and the pepperoni crisps slightly in the oven for maximum flavor. Each bite tastes like a mini pizza without the work of making dough.

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Assemble the Crackers

Arrange crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  • Spoon ½–1 teaspoon pizza sauce onto each cracker

  • Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Top with mini pepperoni slices

Avoid overloading to keep the crackers crisp.

Step 3: Bake

Place in the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until:

  • Cheese is melted and bubbly

  • Pepperoni edges are lightly crisp

For extra browning, broil for the last 30–60 seconds (watch closely).

Step 4: Serve

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with Italian seasoning, fresh herbs, or grated Parmesan if desired.

Serve warm for best flavor.
