Amanda's Pizza Bites

Another Christmas party, another finger food/appetizer you have to make. And you certainly want to make something you can eat that won't destroy your eating program or upset your little pouch. Well, I found it...at my weight loss support group's Christmas party! This dish would also be good to use up leftover spaghetti sauce. Thank you, Amanda, for allowing me to post your recipe.

Amanda's Pizza Bites

8 ounces cream cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup spaghetti sauce (Amanda uses Classico Original-5g sugar/serving)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup peppers and onions, finely minced (or other pizza toppings)
24 slices turkey pepperoni

Place the pepperoni into the bottom of mini muffin cups.

Cream the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Add eggs, garlic, and oregano and beat until smooth. Fold in the rest of the ingredients by hand.

Spoon mixture into each muffin cup and bake at 350F for about 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned and set in the center. Serve warm.

Note: Amanda says these are great cold too!
