- Drop by teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream of chicken soup and turkey pepperoni. If you don't have caraway seeds, try adding a pinch of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. Make sure to mix the ingredients just until combined to keep the puffs fluffy. These are great for game day or as an appetizer, and they pair wonderfully with a side of marinara for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious Pepperoni Puffs warm as a fun snack or appetizer at parties. They pair nicely with a fresh garden salad or a side of ranch dressing for dipping. For a complete meal, you could serve them alongside a bowl of soup, like minestrone, or as part of a platter with other finger foods such as Cheese Balls or Chewy Gooies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help retain their crispness compared to microwaving, which may make them soggy.
