What's not to love about pizza? Pizza is so versatile that the sky's the limit when it comes to the different kinds of pizza that is out there, not to mention all the possibilities for toppings. There are dessert pizzas, meat lovers pizzas, veggie pizzas, pinwheels, calzones, thin crust, deep dish... like I said the sky's the limit. So it is no surprise that I found pizza puffs while looking up recipes over at Kate's blog. After reading the recipe and drooling over the pictures I checked to make sure I had everything on hand to make it and got to work.
I thought that they were really good although I wouldn't make them for dinner. They remind me more of something you would snack on at a party or gathering than a sit down dinner. The one thing I love about this recipe is that you can switch it up. If you want to add chopped mushrooms or bell peppers, go for it! I used pepperoni bites and a can of chopped olives since I was trying to use up what I had on hand but be creative with it and have fun. After all pizza is not supposed to be taken seriously, isn't that why it is always the go to for parties... because it's fun? That's just my theory of course.
