- 1 bag (6 oz) sliced pepperoni
- 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks, halved
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.
- Place 1 slice of pepperoni on each dough triangle. Then, place half of a mozzarella string cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
- Roll the Crescent Rolls:
- Roll the dough up around the pepperoni and cheese, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Be sure the ends are sealed so the cheese doesn’t melt out during baking.
- Prepare the Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg wash over the top of each crescent roll.
- Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning over the top of each crescent roll for extra flavor.
- Bake the Crescent Rolls:
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy wa
Notes
- Feel free to customize the rolls with other ingredients such as olives, bell peppers, or even a drizzle of garlic butter after baking.
- For a crispier crust, lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray before baking.
