# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweet-heat combo hits different when you taste the hot honey against melted cheese—it's addictive.
  • Comes together in under 30 minutes, so you can make it on a Tuesday night without drama.
  • Looks impressive enough to serve people, casual enough to eat straight from the pan.
02 -
  • Don't skip heating the baking sheet—a cold surface means the bottom won't crisp up, and your flatbread becomes floppy rather than satisfying.
  • The hot honey is the star, so don't be stingy with it; the magic happens when it hits warm cheese and gets into every crevice.
03 -
  • If heat is your thing, don't stop at the honey drizzle—add more pepper flakes to the honey or sprinkle extra on top before serving for a genuine kick.
  • The key to perfect pepperoni cups is arranging them with space between; they'll curl up and create little reservoirs of their own rendered fat, which is flavor gold.
