Pepperoni Puff Pastry Bites
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
20-25 slices of pepperoni
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly on a floured surface. Cut into small squares (about 2×2 inches).
3. Assemble Bites: Place a small amount of marinara sauce in the center of each square. Add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and a slice of pepperoni.
4. Seal and Fold: Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center, enclosing the filling. Pinch the edges to seal.
5. Add Toppings: Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
6. Bake: Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
7. Serve: Let cool for a few minutes and serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
