Deliciously easy stuffed crescent rolls filled with pepperoni and string cheese, topped with parmesan and Italian seasoning, perfect for a snack or appetizer. These crescent rolls are baked to golden perfection and served warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz) tubes store-bought crescent roll dough
  • 1 (6 oz) bag sliced pepperoni
  • 8 sticks mozzarella string cheese (cut in half)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll both tubes of crescent roll dough and separate them into individual triangles by carefully tearing or cutting along the perforated lines.
  3. Add Fillings: On each triangle, place 6 slices of pepperoni in a single layer, then place half a stick of mozzarella string cheese on top of the pepperoni slices for a melty, cheesy filling.
  4. Roll Crescents: Starting from the widest edge of the dough triangle, carefully roll the dough toward the tip to encase the pepperoni and cheese inside, shaping it into a crescent.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the rolled crescent rolls to the prepared baking sheets. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it evenly over the surface of each crescent roll to give them a golden, shiny finish.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the egg-washed rolls for added flavor and a savory crust.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and serve immediately with warm marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute the pepperoni with other deli meats like salami or ham if preferred.
  • Use fresh mozzarella instead of string cheese for a different texture, but be mindful it may be wetter and affect dough crispness.
  • Brush with melted butter instead of egg wash if you want a softer crust.
  • For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before baking.
  • Ensure rolls are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
