5️⃣ Top with Pepperoni
Place mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Use 2–3 slices per cracker depending on size. Add optional toppings like a pinch of oregano or red pepper flakes for flavor.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully—they can go from perfect to overdone quickly!
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
Allow the crackers to cool slightly for 2–3 minutes—they will crisp up as they cool. Serve warm for the best melty-cheese experience.
