Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (or a reliable nonstick baking sheet)
  • Wide spatula
  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients

For the Pepperoni Cheese Shells

  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni (about 16 slices)

For the Chicken Caesar Salad

  • 3 to 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken diced and chilled
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup garlic croutons lightly crushed
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reliable nonstick sheet.

Shape the Shells

  • Divide the mozzarella into two portions on the baking sheet, shaping each into a circle several inches apart. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then layer pepperoni over each circle.

Bake

  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the bubbling slows and the edges turn golden.

Rest and Blot

  • Rest the shells on the pan 2 to 3 minutes, until firm enough to lift with a spatula but still warm and flexible. Blot any pepperoni grease with a paper towel.

Toss the Salad

  • Combine romaine, chicken, croutons, Parmesan, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the Caesar dressing and toss just until coated.

Fill and Fold

  • Loosen each shell with a wide spatula and flip so the pepperoni faces out.

Notes

  • Don't store assembled wraps; the salad wilts the shell within the hour.
  • Turkey pepperoni, extra romaine, and parmesan crisps for croutons all work as swaps.
  • Recipe developed for 2 shells; double the mozzarella and pepperoni to make 4.
