Easy Pepperoni and Cheese Crescents

These easy and delicious pepperoni and cheese crescents work equally well for dinner or as finger food for parties or game day.

⏲️ Time needed

This is a quick and easy recipe that you can have ready in under 30 minutes. It'll probably take longer to preheat your oven than to prepare the rolls for baking.

🥘 Ingredients

• refrigerated crescent roll dough
• Parmesan cheese
• turkey pepperoni
• mozzarella cheese
• marinara sauce

📋 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll your crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles, using score-lines then cutting the 8 sections in half.

Place 3 slices turkey pepperoni on the wide end of each triangle, then sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese and a bit of Parmesan cheese. Roll crescents from narrow end to wide end and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Warm marinara sauce and serve with crescents for dipping.

💭 Tips

Leave your dough in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it. It's much easier to work with while it's still cold, and it reaches room temperature pretty quickly, particularly if you're handling it a lot.

🥗 Side dishes

I like to serve this with kid-friendly sides and call it a family dinner win. Some suggestions:

• raw veggie sticks with ranch dressing
• grapes (in the summer frozen grapes are fun)
• peas and carrots
• ants on a log (celery sticks stuffed with peanut butter and topped with raisins)
• fruit cocktail
