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!
