Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls


Golden, buttery croissant rolls packed with melty mozzarella and spicy pepperoni — the perfect easy snack or appetizer that’s ready in under 30 minutes! These Mozzarella Pepperoni Croissant Rolls are endlessly customizable and dangerously delicious.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • 24 slices pepperoni

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or mozzarella sticks, cut into small pieces)

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.

  3. Place 2-3 slices of pepperoni and about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella near the wide end of each triangle.

  4. Roll up tightly from the wide end toward the tip, encasing the filling.

  5. Arrange rolls on the baking sheet.

  6. Stir melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning together. Brush over each roll generously.

  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.

  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce if desired!

Notes

 

  • Don’t overstuff! It’s tempting, but keeping the filling moderate prevents leaks.

  • Customize your rolls with extra goodies like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or different cheeses.

  • These rolls are best fresh, but they reheat beautifully in the oven at 350°F.

  • Want to prep ahead? Assemble, refrigerate, then bake fresh when you’re ready!
