Who doesn’t love pizza? Who doesn’t love mini pizzas wrapped in pastry puff? This next recipe comes from my other sister-in-law. She is always coming up with tasty concoctions and this one is perfect for your Super Bowl party.
Mini Pepperoni Cheese Bites
What you will need for 16 bites:
- 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1-1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded
- 8 deli slices of pepperoni or 1 package of Hormel Pepperoni slices
- About 1/2 cup or more of marinara sauce for dipping
- Baking Sheet
- Non-stick cooking spray
Healthy Substitutions:
- Reduced Fat Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
- Part skim mozzarella
- Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- If you are using deli slices of pepperoni, cut them into 4 pieces.
- If you aren’t using shredded mozzarella, cut up the mozzarella into cubes.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it.
- Cut the separated piece into two pieces.
- Place 2 slices of pepperoni in the one half of the dough.
- Place the cheese on top of the pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over and squeeze the edges to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top.
- Serve with your favorite marinara sauce. Make sure you put one to the side for yourself because once you put them out, they will disappear!
