We have a slight pizza addiction in our house. We’ll sometimes buy gluten free pizza crusts from Truly Free, our local gluten free restaurant and make homemade pizza, but often I just whip up these easy little variations on my olive and feta appetizer puffs. They take under 10 minutes to put together and bake up really quickly. They make a great hot lunch and the kids will reheat them for snacks. They’d also be a great appetizer if you’re having lots of teens over like we are tomorrow night for Halloween! Store in an airtight container in the fridge. I’m not sure how long they keep, we’ve never had a problem with a lot being left over. 🙂

Bake 325F for 15-20 mins or until pizza puffs are golden and cheese is melted.
