These croissant rolls are filled with gooey mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and a touch of Italian seasoning — the perfect quick snack, party appetizer, or fun dinner idea.

📝 Ingredients:

(Makes 8 rolls)

1 can refrigerated croissant dough (like Pillsbury, 8-count)
24–32 slices of pepperoni (3–4 per roll)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or string cheese, cut into pieces)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
1 egg (for egg wash – optional, for golden tops)
Marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Assemble the rolls:

Unroll the croissant dough and separate into 8 triangles.
On the wide end of each triangle, layer 3–4 pepperoni slices and a small handful (or strip) of mozzarella.
Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning, if using.
Roll up tightly from the wide end to the point.

3. Finish and bake:

Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet, point-side down.
Brush with a lightly beaten egg for a glossy finish (optional).
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling slightly.

4. Serve:

Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

💡 Tips & Variations:

✔️ Add a spoonful of pizza sauce inside each roll for extra flavor (just don’t overfill).
✔️ Want it spicy? Toss in some red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
✔️ Swap mozzarella for provolone, cheddar, or a cheese blend.
✔️ Perfect for lunchboxes or game day appetizers — just reheat in a toaster oven!
