Pepperoni Bites With Boursin Cheese | Easy Keto Snack Recipe & Game Day Food Idea
Looking for an easy, cheesy snack? Spread Boursin cheese on pepperoni and bake the pepperoni bites until crispy. Yum!
2-ingredient keto snacks are the best for mid-day hunger pains.
My favorite recipes are the ones that are low effort and at the same time super tasty! Keto snacks are super important because they can keep you on track with your nutritional goals instead of grabbing high-carb foods when becoming “hangry”.
Today we are keeping things simple with a delicious pepperoni bites snack idea that features pepperoni and flavorful Boursin cheese. It’s a snack similar to pepperoni cream cheese bites. You simply spread this glorious cheese in between two pieces of pepperoni and bake them in the oven on a sheet pan. It’s truly that easy!
The result is a pepperoni bites snack with a crispy texture on the outside and melty cheese inside. You can eat them as is or try dipping them in marinara sauce as a fun snack or appetizer.
What is Boursin cheese?
Boursin is a soft creamy Gournay cheese available in a variety of flavors. The texture is somewhat similar to cream cheese, and the various herbs added give it a nice elevated flavor. You can use it in keto cooking to make easy cream sauces. Try adding some to your next egg omelet as the character Sydney does in “The Bear” TV show on Hulu. Yum!
Hip Tip: Prefer pepperoni cream cheese bites? Simply swap the Boursin for cream cheese and add Everything Bagel seasoning.

Tips for making these baked pepperoni bites:
- Can I use cream cheese instead of Boursin? Yes! If you want to use cream cheese instead that would be completely tasty as well! In fact, we first spotted these on Instagram from KetoSnackz, and he uses cream cheese and Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper first for easy clean up.
- These tend to get greasy in the oven after baking, so I just easily blotted them with a paper towel.
I love these low carb pepperoni bites with cheese!
