There’s something about pizza that makes it the favorite meal of nearly everyone in my family. This fun twist on traditional pizza is a great way to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds!

How to make the best pizza crackers:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Evenly space out your crackers on the baking sheet, then top each one with a slice of pepperoni.
• Add 1 tsp of sauce on top of the pepperoni, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browned on top.
• Sprinkle with dried oregano before enjoying!

These crisp pizza crackers are a wonderful party appetizer, or snack for after work or school! They’re so good, you may just need to double the recipe! 😉

My top tips:

• Buttery ritz crackers create the perfect base to load up with toppings and stay super crisp once baked. If you don’t have ritz, you can also use saltine crackers in a pinch!
• You can use pre-sliced pepperoni for convenience or slice your own. If you slice your own, be sure the slices are thin. This just makes the crackers easier to bite into and eat!
• I highly recommend following the order of pepperoni, sauce, then cheese when assembling your pizza crackers. The piece of pepperoni on the bottom acts as a barrier for the sauce and prevents the crackers from becoming too soggy.
• Feel free to set these crackers under the broiler for 45 seconds instead of baking for 6-8 minutes. Just keep the mind the edges of the crackers may burn quickly under the broiler.
