Yield:
8 pizza bites
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On an ungreased baking sheet, overlap 4 pepperoni slices to make a larger circle. Repeat with remaining pepperoni to make 8 larger circles.
2
Top larger pepperoni circles with whole-milk mozzarella cheese, black olives, and white button mushrooms.
3
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
4
Using a spatula, remove pizza bites from the sheet and let cool slightly before serving.
Variation: To make Anchovy and Pepperoncini
Pizza Bites, replace pepperoni with thin-sliced salami. Combine 12 chopped anchovies with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Top mozzarella with anchovy mixture and 1⁄4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers instead of olives and mushrooms. Just be sure not to add higher-carb toppings such as red bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes without additional fat.
