Looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing appetizer that’s big on flavor and short on prep time? These Phyllo Pizza Bites are your new go-to.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz. very soft cream cheese
  • 6 oz. finely shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 8 oz sliced pepperoni-cut into thins julienne strips
  • 2 to 2 ½ cups Tuttorosso Fresh Pizza Sauce
  • 50 prebaked phyllo cups

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, gently fry the pepperoni strips until fat renders out and meat crisps up-about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan onto paper towels to drain, reserve for garnishing.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375°F

Step 3

Place 1 scant teaspoon of cheese filling into the base of each phyllo cup. Gently press to fill cup being careful not to push too hard or you could break the cup.

Step 3

Top with about 1 ½ teaspoons of Tuttorosso Fresh Pizza Sauce. Place filled cups on a baking tray. Bake until the filling is hot and cheeses are melted-about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from oven and sprinkle the top with fried pepperoni strips and serve immediately.
