Ingredients

Scale

Prep Ingredients

  • 6 Frozen Super pretzels
  • 1/2 cup Chef Shamy Gourmet Garlic Butter, melted
  • Fresh chopped parsley or basil, for garnish

Toppings

  • Mozzarella cheese, fresh shredded (amount to taste, approximately 1 cup)
  • 18 slices Pepperoni
  • Pizza sauce, for dipping (about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pretzels.
  2. Prepare Pretzels: Arrange the frozen pretzels on a parchment paper or foil-lined baking sheet, then brush them evenly with the melted garlic butter to infuse rich flavor.
  3. Bake Pretzels: Place the pretzels in the preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes to begin warming and softening them.
  4. Add Toppings: Remove the pretzels from the oven, turn on the broiler, then top each pretzel with shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices, finishing with a little extra mozzarella on top for a cheesy crust.
  5. Broil to Melt Cheese: Return the pretzels to the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted, become bubbly, and slightly golden.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the hot pretzels with fresh chopped parsley or basil, and serve immediately with melted garlic butter and pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh shredded mozzarella for best melting results and flavor.
  • Keep a close eye on the pretzels when broiling to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other favorite pizza toppings such as sliced olives, mushrooms, or sausage.
  • For a spicier flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before broiling.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or conventional oven to retain crispiness.
