Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls
These quick and easy mozzarella beef pepperoni croissant rolls are the perfect weeknight snack, ready in under 20 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Dough and Filling
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 triangles)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 halved mozzarella sticks
- 1/2 cup beef pepperoni slices Adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning Optional
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese Optional
- 1 jar marinara sauce For dipping, optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 pre-cut triangles.
- On the wide end of each triangle, place 3–4 beef pepperoni slices.
- Add a piece of mozzarella or sprinkle about 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella.
- Roll the triangle tightly from the wide end toward the tip, tucking the tip under to seal the filling.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle each roll with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan if using.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crescents are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Let them cool for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm with marinara for dipping.
Notes
For a lighter option, use turkey beef pepperoni. If you don’t have shredded mozzarella, halved mozzarella sticks work great. To enhance texture, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
