Easy and delicious, these Low Carb Salami Pizza Cups are full of flavor from the pepperoni, mushrooms and olives. They make a fun appetizer or a quick meal.
One of the ways I simplify my meal planning is to serve a certain type of meal on a specific day of the week (Mexican night, burger night, soup night etc.) So, a family tradition we started years ago, is Friday night pizza and movie night. The girls look forward to it every week; well actually, we all do.
We play around with different toppings every week. Sometimes I buy special ingredients for pizza, and sometimes we create fun combinations out of our leftovers. I’ve also experimented with many types of “crust.” I like this version because it’s easy to hold and has all the best pizza flavors. The Salami crisps up in the oven and makes the perfect vessel for holding all the toppings.
Without the traditional crust, pizza is very low carb. This time I used pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives as toppings, but you could use anything. It would also be a great opportunity for everyone to make their own. And, you could use big slices of pepperoni as the cup instead of salami.
Since you don’t have to make the “crust,” these pizza cups are a fast meal to put together.
The salami has delicate, crispy edges when they come out of the oven, so I like to slide a butter knife under the bottom of the cup to take them out of the cupcake pan.
These Low Carb Salami Cups are the perfect size for appetizers or maybe an after school snack.
My husband and I like to add a salad and make a meal, perfect for lunch or dinner.
