Instructions
Dry Ingredients
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, Italian Seasoning, Parmesan Cheese, sun dried tomatoes and Pepperoni. Stir to combine.
The Batter
- Slightly beat the egg, then combine with the milk. Stir into the dry ingredients just until well combined. Don't overmix.
Finish 'er up
- Spoon into well greased mini muffin cups until about 3/4 full. Using your finger, poke a piece of Mozzarella into the center of each muffin cup. The cheese does not need to be totally submersed.
Bake
- Place in the oven that's pre-heated to 350 degrees. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden. Remove the the oven and let rest for 5 minutes or so. Remove from the pans. Running a thin knife around the edges may be helpful.
Serve
- Serve warm with Marinara Sauce for dipping. If made the day before they're needed, just re-heat when ready to serve.
