Mini Pizza Muffin Tin Appetizers

By A Cultivated Nest Team

I think my favorite part of New Year’s Eve parties may be the appetizers! There’s just something really fun about eating small food, especially if it’s the small version of something that’s normally pretty big! Which is why I love these Mini Pizza Muffin Tin Appetizers! Not only is it easy to make a lot of these, but it’s also a lot of fun to eat these pizza bites! It doesn’t hurt that they’re really tasty, too!

By using a muffin tin (AKA cupcake tin), you can quickly make a dozen of these mini pizzas! If you have kids, consider having them help out with assembling these. They’d probably have a lot of fun sprinkling on the cheese or spooning in the sauce to help you make these mini pizza muffin tin appetizers!

And while I plan to make these as New Year’s Eve party appetizers, these would also make great after-school snacks, or even a nice lunch, if you made enough!
