Description
Quick and comforting Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls that are perfect for busy weeknights, combining crispy crescent dough with savory pepperoni and gooey mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 mozzarella sticks (halved)
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. If seams are visible, press them gently to seal.
- On the wide end of each triangle, place 3–4 slices of pepperoni and a piece of mozzarella.
- Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. Tuck the tip underneath the roll.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan over the top, if using.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For the best results, roll the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking. If your oven runs hot, check at 10 minutes to avoid overly browned tops. You can brush the tops with melted butter for an extra glossy finish.
