Notes
A toothpick works great for getting the Pizza Bites out of the Muffin Pan.
Customizing the Keto Pizza Bites
- The Cheese - Use an Italian Cheese Blend if you don’t have mozzarella.
- The Italian Seasoning - Substitute a teaspoon each of basil and oregano.
- The Pepperoni - Use Hormel mini pepperoni instead of chopping up larger slices.
- Switch up the Meat - Top you pizzas with sausage instead of pepperoni. Remove a link of sweet or spicy Italian Sausage from its casing. Crumble and brown it up in a fry pan. Use it in place of the pepperoni or better yet, use a combo of pepperoni AND sausage!
- Cheese Only - These things are so good make them with just the cheese and herb mix!
- Roasted Garlic Powder - Roasted Garlic Powder is easy to find in stores and online. I use it as often or more than regular garlic powder. I find it has more flavor. Regular garlic powder works fine in the recipe so don’t worry about not having any at home.
