This was another quick and simple recipe that came out great! I got the recipe from http://www.noblepig.com/, a great food/wine blog that has a million recipes that I'm dying to try! This recipe came at the perfect time, because I had a bunch of mozzarella and pepperoni left over from my "Make Your Own Pizza" Easter dinner. These little bites are great for someone like me who doesn't like a lot of pizza sauce, because there's no sauce in them! Just cheese, pepperoni, and crust, then dip them in sauce. I had to dig deep in my kitchen cabinets for my mini muffin pans, but I found them and was all set to go!
My suggestions with this recipe:
-Every oven is different, but I would put these on the top rack for the full 25 minutes. They cook all the way through easily, but you want these to get really brown and bubbly on top.

-I didn't have fresh basil, only dried, same difference. I just used less because dried herbs always have a stronger flavor. About a teaspoonful verses a tablespoon.
-Serve ASAP, they're best straight out of the oven piping hot.
That's it! These are so easy and quick and good!
