Steps:
- Grease a 9 inch pie plate and layer it with the mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni.
- In a bowl whisk eggs, milk and basil; pour over the cheese.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let set for 10 minutes before cutting.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pepperoni: Flavorful, crispy pepperoni makes all the difference in this recipe. Opt for a brand that you enjoy the taste of, and make sure it's thinly sliced so it cooks evenly.
- Use a good melting cheese: Mozzarella and cheddar are classic choices for a pepperoni cheese bake, but feel free to experiment with other types of cheese that melt well, such as provolone, pepper Jack, or Gouda.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space for the pepperoni and cheese to spread out evenly in the baking dish. This will help ensure that everything cooks through properly.
- Bake until golden brown: The pepperoni cheese bake is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is crispy. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking.
- Let it cool slightly before serving: This will give the cheese a chance to set and the pepperoni to firm up. Cut into squares and serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or oregano if desired.
Conclusion:
A pepperoni cheese bake is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
