I could eat this snack all day long!

In the heart of the Midwest, where the fields stretch as far as the eye can see and the air is filled with the scent of home-cooked meals, there lies a simple joy in creating something delicious from just a few ingredients. These 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips are a testament to the beauty of simplicity and resourcefulness. Born from the need to make a quick, satisfying snack, these chips are perfect for those moments when you crave the flavors of pizza but don't have the time or ingredients for a full pie. With just cheese and mini pepperonis, you can whip up a treat that brings back memories of family gatherings and cozy evenings by the fire.

These pizza chips are delightful on their own, but if you're looking to make a meal out of them, consider pairing them with a crisp garden salad or a bowl of hearty tomato soup. The freshness of the greens or the warmth of the soup complements the rich, savory flavors of the chips perfectly. For a more indulgent experience, serve them alongside a creamy ranch or marinara dipping sauce.

Servings: 4 servings

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
1/2 cup mini pepperonis

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place small mounds of shredded cheese on the parchment paper, leaving space between each mound.

Top each cheese mound with a few mini pepperonis.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and crispy.

Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the chips will crisp up as they cool.

For a bit of spice, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as a spicy pepper jack or a smoky gouda, to add a unique twist to your chips. If mini pepperonis aren't available, you can use regular-sized pepperonis cut into quarters. For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperonis and add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or dried basil for extra flavor.
