Since everybody agrees that the best parts of a pizza are those spots where the cheese sort of drips off and caramelizes onto the pan, getting crispy, crusty, and incredibly delicious, I took those cheesy drips and made chips! Serve as-is or top with a bit of baby arugula and fold in half to eat like tacos.

It's usually around the lead up to the Super Bowl, and the associated party snack brainstorming that occurs around that time, when this idea pops up, but for whatever reason I've always chickened out, and gone with something slightly less insane. There's a famous line that resonated with me, delivered by Jeff Goldblum, playing Dr. Ian Malcolm in the movie Jurassic Park, where he says, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." I always knew I could, and this year, I finally decided I should. And, like in the movie, I'm sure everything will be just fine. Which reminds me, I was in a bar a few months ago, and they had a Triple IPA on the list that was so strong, there was a 2-beer per person limit. That might not be a bad idea here as well. This is not something you want to sit down and eat an entire plate of. But in moderation, I think it would make for a memorable Super Bowl bite. There are no secret tips or tricks here, other than to make sure the cheese gets cooked enough, so that once it cools down, the edges get nice and crisp. And, like I said in the video, go ahead and add whatever other pizza toppings you're into, but no matter what ingredients you use, I really do hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy! Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese 4 ounces provolone cheese 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese ½ cup prepared pizza sauce 30 slices pepperoni Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 13x18-inch, half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Grate provolone and mozzarella cheeses with the larger side of a box grater into a large bowl. Use the smaller side and grate in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Toss with your hands to combine. Scoop tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture into 12 circular piles on the prepared baking sheet, making sure you're getting all three cheeses in each scoop. Top each circle with about ¾ teaspoon pizza sauce, then place a slice of pepperoni on top. Bake in the center of the preheated oven until melted and sizzling, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove parchment paper and chips to a wire rack to cool. Line the baking sheet with a fresh sheet of parchment paper. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to bake remaining 18 chips. Let chips cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the parchment paper and serve. Pepperoni Pizza Cheese Drip Chips. Chef John Chef's Notes Don't buy pre-grated cheese. Block cheese is always better quality, and it takes just seconds to grate it yourself.You could use a silicone liner (such as Silpat) instead of parchment paper, but I don't think it will work quite as well.Use your favorite pizza toppings instead of pepperoni, like sausage and peppers, anchovies and mushrooms, whatever you want!
