Ingredients

• 8 oz Ground Italian sausage
• 2 oz Sliced pepperoni
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the sausage and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Layer the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the pizza sauce. Add the sliced pepperoni on top, then evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Gradually add the flour, whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 7

Pour the popover batter evenly over the pizza toppings in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the popover topping is golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, invert the baking dish onto a large serving board or tray so the toppings are on top and the crust is on the bottom. Slice and enjoy!
