Pepperoni Crescent Rolls
Well, summer is in full force here, and that means lots of activities and tons of fun. Quick and easy suppers and snacks are almost a necessity around here! You have got to keep moving and shaking so you get all the rest of the chores done so you can go swimming, boating, fishing, bike riding, and all those other super fun summer activities.
These Pepperoni Crescent Rolls are delicious and quick to make for supper or lunch. They require seven ingredients, most of which you may already have in your pantry. I like to serve these for movie nights with little smokies, cold veggie pizza, and 7-layer dip.
How to make Pepperoni Crescent Rolls
First, combine the seasonings in a small bowl and set them aside. Next, beat an egg in a small bowl and set it aside. Remove the crescent dough from the package. Starting with the wide end, place a mozzarella stick on the end, and slice pepperoni or turkey pepperoni along the surface of the crescent roll. Starting with the widest end, roll into the narrowest end.
Place the crescents seam side down on an ungreased or parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with warm marinara sauce or pizza sauce.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Use name-brand refrigerated crescent rolls. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but I think they are better.
- Use dried herbs. With this particular recipe, they work better than fresh herbs.
- Other ingredients to add in small amounts include cooked bacon, onions, cooked sausage, cooked ground beef, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and any of your other favorite pizza toppings.
- Don’t skip the beaten egg; it really does make them look AMAZING!
- Overlap the pepperoni when placing it on the crescent rolls. They will taste better and look better.
- I like to serve them with warm pizza sauce, but in a pinch, marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce works well too.
Storage and Reheat
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300 degrees, wrapped in an aluminum foil tent, or at reduced power in the microwave.
These Pepperoni Crescent Rolls make the best kid-friendly appetizers and are perfect for birthday parties and sleepovers! Maybe you and the kids just got back from swimming, and you need a quick meal before you head out for a bike ride. If you have twenty minutes and a handful of ingredients, you can shower love on your hubby and kids. Perhaps the love will come right back to you tenfold. Enjoy my awesome friends!

Can I add the pizza sauce before baking? One of the grands doesn’t like to dip. Strange but true. Also can the be made ahead, frozen and baked from the freezer?

You could add a very thin layer. If it is too much, they will not bake properly. You can bake in advancce and reheat. Reheat in the oven at 300 degrees, wrapped in an aluminum foil tent! Have fun with your grandchildfren!

A delicious and easy snack or light meal! When making these again, very soon, I will try brushing on the egg wash before sprinkling with seasonings. Seasonings may stick to the crescent rolls better? So yummy!
