A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring a creamy pepperoni filling wrapped in golden crescent dough.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced pepperoni, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well blended.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Open the crescent roll package and separate the dough into individual triangles.
Keep the dough chilled until ready to use to make handling easier.
Place a small spoonful of the filling onto the center of each triangle.
Don't overfill to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a small pouch.
Ensure all edges are sealed to keep the filling inside.
Place the filled dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Space them evenly to allow for proper baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Check for a golden color to ensure they are fully baked.
Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
