Ingredients
Scale
Croissant Rolls
- 1 package (8 rolls) croissants
Filling
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices pepperoni
Seasonings
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the croissant rolls evenly.
- Unroll croissants: Gently unroll the croissant dough triangles onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them apart to prepare for filling.
- Add fillings: On each croissant triangle, evenly place shredded mozzarella cheese and slices of pepperoni, making sure to leave the edges clear to allow for sealing when rolled.
- Season and roll: Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the fillings, then carefully roll each triangle tightly from the wide end to the tip to form a neat croissant shape.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the croissant rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Cool and serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving so they hold their shape and the cheese sets just right.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with other deli meats or vegetables for a variety of flavors.
- For extra crispiness, brush the croissant rolls with a little beaten egg before baking.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, but shredded is quicker and easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain flakiness.
