Today’s guest post comes from Steph at Plain Chicken! Her Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Puffs look amazing! Don’t you think? Be sure to check out her yummy recipes and gorgeous photos on her blog!
We had these for lunch over the weekend, and they tasted as good as they looked. They are DELICIOUS!! We ate them all!
These little puffs are very simple to make. We used turkey pepperoni and sausage, but feel free to change up the fillings. Try mushrooms, peppers, ham, chicken; the possibilities are endless! Just use your favorite pizza toppings.
These puffs would make a fantastic snack for the upcoming Super Bowl!
Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
adapted from Everyday Food
3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 oz mini turkey pepperoni, (about 1/2 cup)
4 oz low-fat sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup pizza sauce
Pre-heat the oven to 375°. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder and baking powder; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, sausage and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.
Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.
Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe with us, Steph! Visit Stephanie at Plain Chicken and follow her on Facebook and Twitter!
Yumm! I love everything pizza!
gonna make these as soon as I get some Italian sausage! If I inject them with the sauce, they will be portable, too.
These are perfect for a quick weeknight meal too. Loved this idea so I included it in the 25 quick meal ideas blog post I wrote today. Come checkout the other quick meals.
hey, those look delicious! I should make them sometime. :)
I’ve seen these on other blogs, but something about your photo makes them look better than the rest! Yum!

These sound great! I can’t wait to try, pinned it!
I am making these for the big OSU vs UofM game tommorrow. Can’t wiait to try them, pinned it!
Thanks for sharing! These look amazing. I could make these to serve to guests during my son’s birthday party this weekend. The kids will love these!
These look so good. I know my kids will love them. Wish I had one right now :).
I love any excuse to dip things in pizza sauce! these would make great movie snacks
I made these but I used ham, pineapple, pepper jack cheese and unflavoured almond milk (that is what I had). I also used regular sized muffin tins. My husband and I both thought they were delicious!
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed them! :)
did you have to adjust the cooking time?
Hi Amy,
You will probably have to cook them a little longer in the regular muffin pan. I suggest testing them with a tooth pick to see if they’re done and cook longer as needed.
I made these the other night and they were so good! My husband and I ate the whole pan by ourselves :).
Glad you enjoyed them! :)
Do these freeze well? Thinking of making these for my girls school lunches.
I don’t see why not. But I think they would be best warmed up.
I loved these. I would like to make the ham and cheese idea but was wondering if I should have a dip for them and what to use. Any ideas?
Hmmm….how about a honey mustard dip? Any other ideas people?
sounds good. Other ideas would still be appreciated.
