Ingredients needed:
* 3.5 ounce package of sliced pepperoni
* 1/2 of an 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
* 1/4 cup of finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 packages of refrigerated crescent-roll dough (approximately 8 ounces each)
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1 tablespoon of water
* Optional toppings: Dried Italian seasoning, finely grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper or warmed pizza sauce.
Preparation steps:
* Reserve 6 to 8 slices of pepperoni. Chop remaining pepperoni slices. In a small bowl, stir together chopped pepperoni, cream cheese, and the 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set aside.
* Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease an extra large baking sheet; set aside.
* On a lightly floured surface, unroll each package of crescent-roll dough. Separate dough into individual triangles. Place half the dough triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Place about 1 tablespoon of the pepperoni-cheese mixture in the center of each triangle. In a small bowl, stir together egg and water. Brush triangle edges with some of the egg mixture. Top with remaining triangles. Press triangle edges together to seal. Brush dough with egg mixture. Fold short edges of the dough triangles up, forming a hat brim. Prick the dough a few times with the tines of a fork.
* If desire, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and/or crushed red pepper. Cut reserved pieces of pepperoni into small stars, crescent moons, and/or small diamonds. Press onto dough for decoration.
* Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with pizza sauce if desired.
Enjoy
