Low-carb Pizza Bites

Total Time: 28 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 18 mins

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (or combine with other cheeses such as parmesan)
• 1/4 cup green pepper, finely minced (or other pizza topping)
• 24 slices pepperoni, preferably in large thin slices

Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 350°f.
• 2 poke the pepperoni slices into the bottoms of the mini-muffin cups, or butter the cups well if you aren't using the pepperoni (i find that oiling the pans doesn't work as well).
• 3 cream the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and fluffy. add eggs, garlic, and oregano, and beat until smooth.
• 4 mix the rest of the ingredients in by hand.
• 5 fill the muffin cups with the egg and cheese mixture.
• 6 bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and set in center. remove from oven, and cool for a few minutes (5-10), then run a knife around the top to loosen (i use a plastic knife for my nonstick pan). remove to a plate.
