Ingredients
-
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 mozzarella sticks, halved
-
½ cup pepperoni slices
-
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (optional)
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
-
Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
3. Add the Filling
On the wide end of each triangle:
-
Place 3–4 slices of pepperoni
-
Add shredded mozzarella or one piece of mozzarella stick
4. Roll the Croissants
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the tip, fully enclosing the filling.
Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Add Seasoning
Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese over the tops if desired.
6. Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until:
-
the croissants are golden brown
-
the cheese inside is melted and bubbly
7. Serve
Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
-
Seal edges well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
-
For extra crispiness, lightly brush tops with melted butter before baking.
-
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
