Microwave Pepperoni Pizza Bites

Ingredients

- 12 slices of pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Preparation:
- Arrange the 12 slices of pepperoni on a microwave-safe plate, slightly overlapping each other in a circular pattern to form a "crust."

2. Sauce Layering:
- In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce and marinara sauce, mixing thoroughly.
- Spread this sauce mixture evenly over the arranged pepperoni slices using the back of a spoon.

3. Cheese Topping:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce-covered pepperoni, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Follow by evenly distributing the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella.

4. Drizzle:
- Drizzle olive oil over the cheese for added richness and flavor.

5. Microwaving:
- Place the plate in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Allow the pizza bites to cool slightly before serving, as this helps the bites firm up and makes them easier to handle.
