04 - Top each cracker with a slice of beef pepperoni.

05 - Sprinkle mozzarella and optional cheddar cheese evenly over each cracker.

01 -

They take about five minutes to prep but taste like something from a fancy restaurant
Everyone grabs them before dinner even starts and asks for the recipe

02 -

Overloading the crackers with sauce will make them soggy before they finish baking
Watch them closely after the 7 minute mark because the cheese can go from bubbly to burnt quickly

03 -

Room temperature cheese melts more evenly than cold cheese straight from the fridge
Position your oven rack in the upper third so the tops get perfectly golden without burning the bottoms
