Description

Delightful star-shaped bites filled with gooey cheese, pepperoni, and tangy tomato sauce, perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package puff pastry
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni, chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 egg, for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the dough: Lightly flour your clean surface and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Cut the stars: Use your star-shaped cutter to punch out shapes from the dough.
  4. Assemble the bites: Spoon a teaspoon of tomato sauce onto half of your star cutouts, add cheese and pepperoni.
  5. Seal and top: Place another star cutout on top of each filled star and seal with a fork.
  6. Brush the tops with egg wash to achieve a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until puffy and golden brown.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, or frozen for later baking. Perfectly pair with marinara sauce for dipping.
