Ingredients List:
- 16 slices of pepperoni
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until fully combined, creating a thick, spreadable mixture. - Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Lay out the slices of pepperoni on a clean surface, slightly overlapping each slice to create a larger “sheet.” Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture evenly over each slice of pepperoni. - Roll & Secure:
Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the pepperoni slices with the cheese mixture inside. Make sure to roll them tightly to ensure they hold together. - Bake (Optional):
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is slightly crispy. - Garnish & Serve:
After baking, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Storage Options:
Store any leftover Cheese and Pepperoni Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore their crispy texture.
For meal prep, you can also make a batch of these roll-ups and store them in individual containers for easy access to a quick snack throughout the week.
