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.

Made these for a party, and they were a HIT! I just did 1 batch of cheese, and 1 of pepperoni (quartered the pepperoni and put it on top so people knew the difference. I also used dried Italian season instead of fresh basil since I just didn't have any! (Plus I love oregano!) I will definitely make these again!! Thanks!
Just found you through Pinterest . Cant wait to make this recipe. Love your blog. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work.

Haley – just mix everything together and scoop the batter into the mini muffin pans
Hey there! These look delicious! I am definitely one to use my muffin pan to make meals with 🙂 I just have one question. So… what I have found with many muffin recipes, is that you normally have an outer "breading" and then put the filling inside of that. I'm assuming that it isn't the case here? You really just mix everything together? No need for an outer breading?
Found your blog via pinterest and I can't wait to try these pizza puffs. I may even make them for dinner tonight since I was going to make a pizza anyway. A change of pace from the same old same old will be nice!
