Ingredients
Scale
- Sturdy crackers like Ritz or Wheat Thins (avoid thin or flaky crackers)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) pizza or marinara sauce (Classico brand recommended)
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella cheese (or mix with cheddar)
- About 12 small pepperoni slices (optional)
- ¼ cup (30 g) mini diced bell peppers, sliced black olives, or chopped mushrooms
- Optional: sprinkle of dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and lay out crackers, sauce, cheese, and toppings on your prep surface.
- If desired, mix a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning into the pizza sauce in a small bowl.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of sauce evenly onto each cracker without overloading.
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon (10 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each cracker.
- Top each cracker with 2-3 small pepperoni slices and a few pieces of diced veggies like bell peppers or olives.
- Optional: Place crackers on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately or pack into snack containers. Keep sauce separate if packing for later to avoid sogginess.
Notes
Use sturdy crackers to avoid sogginess. Spread sauce thinly to keep crackers crisp. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers or rice cakes. For dairy-free, use dairy-free shredded cheese or nutritional yeast. If broiling, watch carefully to prevent burning. Assemble just before eating if packing for later.
