Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 10 Ritz crackers (original, or mix it up)
Toppings
- 10 tsp pizza sauce
- 10 thin slices of pizza pepperoni
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high and allow it to preheat fully to ensure the crackers and toppings cook quickly and evenly.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray it lightly with non-stick spray to prevent the crackers from sticking. Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer, leaving small gaps between each.
- Add the toppings: Place one slice of pepperoni on each cracker. Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce over each pepperoni slice. Then, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of each cracker to cover the sauce and pepperoni.
- Broil the crackers: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove the crackers as soon as the cheese has melted and started to bubble slightly.
- Serve immediately: Let the pizza crackers cool for a moment, then serve warm as a tasty finger food or snack.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the crackers while broiling since cheese melts quickly and can burn.
- You can customize the toppings by adding chopped olives, bell peppers, or other pizza favorites before broiling.
- Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for extra flavor and gooey texture.
- If you don’t have a broiler, you can bake the crackers at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts.
