Cheesy Pepperoni Crescent Rolls | Pizza Appetizer Recipes

Posted on Feb 3 by Sharon

slicedpepperoniIf pepperoni is not the favorite pizza topping at your house, try using cooked Italian sausage, ham, or even extra cheese.  Mushrooms, onions, green peppers, or olives can also be added to the filling mix.  Try black olives, onions, and a three-cheese blend if you’re a Saints fan, or blue-dyed mushrooms, pearl onions, and Swiss cheese if you’re a Colts fan. Serve with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Ingredients:

  • 2 (5 oz.) pkg. sliced pepperoni
  • 1 (4 oz.) pkg. mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 (8 oz.) cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions:

Preheat the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Count out 48 pieces of pepperoni and set aside. Remove the crescent roll dough from the packages, unroll, and separate each one into 8 pieces. Place 3 slices of pepperoni onto each dough triangle. Sprinkle the pepperoni with the cheese. Starting with the short side of each dough triangle, roll the dough to the opposite point and press lightly to seal closed. Place the rolls, point side down, onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes or until the dough is a nice golden brown. Makes 16 rolls.
