Mini Parmesan Pizzas Recipes

DEEP DISH MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Lay the crescent roll dough on a cookie sheet and cut out 12 circles (for the mini pizzas shown in the photos) or 12 squares (if you want larger pizza muffins).
• Place the dough at the bottom of each muffin cup. If you cut them into squares, overlap the corners so the top edge is even.
• Add a layer of cheese, a spoon of pizza sauce to cover the cheese, another layer of cheese and your favourite toppings.
• Bake at 375F for 15 minutes until the cheese starts to bubble and the crust is golden brown.
• Let them sit for 5 minutes before pulling the mini pizzas out of the muffin tin.
• Enjoy!

AIR FRYER EGGPLANT PARMESAN MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Line eggplant rounds up on a large cutting board and lightly salt both sides. Let sit 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Meanwhile whisk egg and water together in a mixing bowl. Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together on a flat plate. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top.
• Dip each eggplant round in beaten egg and then coat in bread crumb mixture.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place as many eggplant rounds into your basket as space allows without overcrowding. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 10 minutes. Transfer rounds to the cooling rack and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
• Spoon pizza sauce over each eggplant round. Add olive slices and cover with mozzarella cheese.
• Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Broil eggplant slice pizzas for 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with basil.

MUFFIN TIN DEEP DISH PIZZAS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Make the roasted garlic butter: Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
• Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool completely. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste using a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. If the garlic butter solidifies, microwave for 15-20 seconds before using.
• Make the deep dish pizzas: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
• On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and roll out slightly. Cut the dough lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into thirds so you have 12 squares total.
• Gently shape each piece of dough into a circle, then place into a prepared muffin cup, pressing the dough flush against the bottom and sides. Brush each dough cup with the roasted garlic butter.
• To 4 of the dough cups, add 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create mini Chicago-style deep dish pizzas.
• To another 4 dough cups, add 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian sausage, ½ tablespoon diced green pepper, and ½ tablespoon diced onion. Finish with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to create mini Italian sausage and pepper deep dish pizzas.
• To the remaining 4 dough cups, add 4 cherry tomato halves and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella to each to create mini caprese deep dish pizzas.
• Transfer the pizzas to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the caprese pizzas with balsamic glaze and garnish with the basil.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
