They come out perfectly crisp and cheesy and ready for dipping into your favorite pizza sauce. These are great all on their own as a snack or appetizer, but they’re also good on their own as a sub in for pizza night when served along with a side salad!…

Today I went with pepperoni and cheese, simple enough, but you could definitely go with sausage, or any other sort of cheese or meat that you like on your pizza. Veggies are another option too!…
