Scale
Croissant Rolls
- 1 package (8 rolls) croissants
Filling
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the croissant rolls, ensuring it reaches the ideal temperature for perfect golden crispiness.
- Prepare the croissant dough: Unroll the croissant dough triangles carefully onto an ungreased baking sheet, keeping the edges clear for filling placement.
- Add the fillings: Place shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices evenly on each croissant triangle, leaving the edges free to allow for rolling.
- Season and roll: Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese and pepperoni, then roll the croissants tightly from the wide end toward the tip to encase the filling securely.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the croissants turn golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the croissant rolls cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set and for safer, enjoyable eating.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or ham for variety.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
