Notes

- Storage: This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven or air fryer until warm and melty.
- Oven method: If you prefer baking, assemble your bowl in an oven-safe ramekin and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Air fryer method: Assemble in an oven-safe dish and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes. For an extra golden top, air fry at 400°F for 2 minutes at the end.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the turkey pepperoni and add extra veggies like mushrooms, olives or spinach.
