Pizza Party

The Recipe: Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups
Feeds 2-3 girly appetites 
  • 1 tube of Crescent Rolls
  • 2 sticks of mozzarella cheese (quartered)
  • 16 pepperonis (quartered)
  • Garlic salt and italian spices 
  1. Preheat oven to 375º.
  2. Separate the crescent rolls into 8 different triangles. Cut up the cheese sticks and pepperonis into quarters. Place two pepperonis (8 quarters) and 1 quarter of a cheese stick on each roll.
  3. Roll up the crescent rolls and tuck the corners in to prevent pepperoni escapes.
  4. Sprinkle the tops with garlic salt and italian spices (roughly two shake of each, just a light dusting).
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
The Process:

So simple, even I could do it! 

Really, this was not a terribly difficult recipe. You may get a little greasy from the pepperonis, but it took only about 5 minutes to toss these together. Don't bother spreading the pepperonis out, since they all end up clumped when you roll them together. Just have two rows of pepperonis at the thick bottom end of the crescent roll and put the cheese on top.

Tucking in the edges ended up being the best idea. Kept the cheese from melting out and burning on to the cookie tray, and kept the pepperonis in when you took a big bite of it.

Keep your eye on these little snacks, though. 

The Result:

Fan-freaking-tastic. Literally, these snacks were WAY worth the time put in. If eaten when warm, the cheese is melty and absolutely fantastic. It's pretty much a pizza roll, but more buttery and definitely more delicious. Plus, this meat doesn't look sketchy or fake.

It's not exactly a high-class meal, like our dijon chicken. This was a squindrup and squandrup night, finishing up some rice dishes that were at least a month old. Sissy and I both had 2 and shared with the roomies, so there was just enough for 3 people if we were eating another dish with it. I would definitely say it's more of an appetizer than a meal, but I would make a million if I could have that as the only meal for the rest of my life.

There is not enough space in the world to describe my love for pepperoni.

Bon lundi! À la prochaine.
