The name “muffin pan” doesn’t do it justice: This versatile baking tray also turns out perfectly portioned pizzas! We topped our mini pies with turkey pepperoni, but feel free to experiment with extras like sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or leftover cooked chicken. Serve as a game-day appetizer or as a fun family snack.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

6 spray(s)

Frozen pizza crust dough
