I used a 12-cup tin, and made these a little smaller. I also preheated the sprayed pan. These are wonderfully flavorful. They taste like a pizza in a popover! Great recipe, thanks for posting.

Really enjoyed these! I think it's the different,"heavier" texture that I enjoyed. I could see me bringing these to a party in the future- thanks! made for ZWT7.

Yum! These were a perfect appetizer. I can see where they would be good as a light lunch too. Easy to prepare and very delicious. The only change I might make is to add some fresh chopped spinach; either mixed in to the dough or sprinkled on top before the cheese. Thanks for a great recipe!

Made and devoured in no time at all, by us. I really like this, though it can be divided differently by the cup of cheese, so saying that I added a dash extra provolone, and parmesan cheese. This could not be any easier prepped, cooked and eaten in an hour. Great recipe !! Made for Recipe Swap #32.

I made these as part of my hubby's birthday brunch, and everyone really enjoyed them! I didn't measure the pepperoni, just bought a stick and threw in what was left after everyone stole slices! They were quick and easy, and tasty. I'm thinking of making some more, but with ham instead of pepperoni, to use up the last of my Christmas ham. [Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #24]
