Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 packages Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks cut in 1/2 creating 16 pieces
  • 1 package pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Pizza sauce or marinara sauce optional for dipping

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil; set aside.
  3. In another small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly to create an egg wash.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, place a half-stick of mozzarella and a layer of overlapping pepperoni slices.
  5. Roll the dough from the wide end toward the point, tucking the edges to secure the cheese inside.
  6. Place the rolls seam-side down on an ungreased cookie sheet or parchment-lined baking tray.
  7. Brush the top of each roll with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle generously with the prepared herb seasoning.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve warm with pizza sauce or marinara.

Notes

Use name-brand refrigerated crescent rolls for the best texture. Overlapping the pepperoni ensures every bite is flavorful. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
