Skillet

Ingredients

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a blend of shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
12 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup sugar free tomato sauce

Instructions

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in flat piles with a little room between them, about 4-6 piles a time depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook for about one minute.
When the cheese starts to bubble, add a slice of pepperoni on top of each pile of cheese. Cook for another minute or so, until the cheese begins to brown and get crispy on the edges.
Use a spatula to flip each one, pepperoni side down. Cook for around 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate, pepperoni side up, and serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
Repeat until you've cooked them all!
