- ½ cup sharp provolone cheese, cut in small cubes

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Spray 8 cups of a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place each triangle into a prepared muffin cup, then gently press and pinch dough together to cover the bottom and sides.
3. Place a slice of pepperoni into each cup, then add provolone and mozzarella. Gently press down the cheese, then top each muffin with about a tablespoon of pasta sauce. Mix together the bell peppers and red onion, then divide among the pizza muffins.
4. Bake 10 - 12 min. or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately use a butter knife to loosen the sides of the muffins. Let set for 5 min., then remove from pan, and finish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and basil.
