Description

Pizza crescent rolls are a delicious, cheesy, easy appetizer ready in under 30 minutes — the perfect last minute bite, lunch or dinner, or game day appy.


Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crescent rolls (or one (10x15-inch) sheet puff pastry dough)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 16 slices pepperoni or salami
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large half sheet baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Separate the crescent rolls by hand into 8 triangles (or cut out puff pastry dough into 8 triangles on a lightly floured surface).
  3. On each triangle, spread 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce evenly and top with 2 slices pepperoni and 2 tablespoons cheese.
  4. Gently roll the crescent dough from the wide end over the toppings and pinch the sides to seal.
  5. Arrange the crescent rolls seam side down on the lined baking sheet. Apply egg wash evenly on top of each roll and sprinkle with black pepper and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with marinara sauce, if desired.

Notes

How to store: Allow pizza crescent rolls to cool to room temperature before storing. Then, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.

How to reheat: To reheat cold pizza crescent rolls, place in a preheated 375F oven for 10-15 minutes.
