Pizza Cupcakes

Servings:

These pizza cupcakes are a great portable savory snack and a tasty addition to a game-day buffet. They're sort of like a mini pizza, except shaped like a cupcake. Feel free to customize to your family's tastes with additions like ham, sausage, bell peppers, salami, mushrooms, olives, jalapeños, etc. I recommend not omitting the tomato — it really adds something special.
