Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 40 slices Pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Water
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even and smooth. Cut each sheet into 20 squares, resulting in a total of 40 squares.

Step 3

Place one slice of pepperoni onto the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 4

Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella (approximately 1 teaspoon) on top of the pepperoni slices.

Step 5

Fold the corners of each puff pastry square into the center, pinching the edges together to seal. This will create a small bundle. Place each bundle seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the tops of the pepperoni bites.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the bites with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 8

Bake the pepperoni bites in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 9

Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
