  2. Sprinkle more mozzarella on top and drizzle with garlic butter.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Notes

Can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes to regain texture.
