I love this time of year so much. Here in New York it’s not just fall yet, but I do think you can feel it in the air. A few of the leaves have turned to light shades of gold and yellow. Honestly, it’s just exciting, I love the fall season so much. Now that the NFL season has officially kicked off, it’s back to Monday night, Thursday night, and Sunday night football. This means appetizer season is in full swing. We’re looking for great recipes to serve up on game night that can double for the holidays too. Because the holidays will be here before we know it!
One of our favorite foods for game nights is, of course, a good slice of pizza. As a kid, we’d occasionally pick up a couple of pizzas, usually one cheese and another buffalo chicken. So yummy and such a treat as a young kid. This season instead of doing another pizza, I thought some cheesy pizza rolls would be especially fun and delicious. And you all, these really did turn out so good. They’re extra cheesy, which to me, is the best kind of pizza roll.
The details
Step 1: mix the cheeses and herbs First up, take the grated parmesan cheese and mix it with dried basil, oregano, and parsley. Then add a clove of garlic garlic and a good handful of mozzarella cheese. You can really use any melty cheese that you love. Fontina and Gouda would be great!
Step 2: layer, tuck, and roll Now, working with a square egg roll wrapper, you’ll want to layer your favorite marinara sauce with a slice of provolone cheese, then the mozzarella cheese mix from step 1, and finish with a pepperoni slice. Tuck and roll. The rolling process is simple, roll up, then tuck the sides inward to enclose, and finish rolling. Your first two might be a bit messy, but you’ll get the hang of the process after a few. And don’t stress these do not need to be perfect. The cheese will melt out a bit no matter what.
Step 3: toss them in butter and parmesan, then bake Now, melt some of the butter, then sprinkle over that remaining bit of parmesan cheese. Bake these up in a super hot oven. About halfway through cooking add a pepperoni slice on top, then continue baking until crispy and cheesy, they’re going to smell so delicious.
When you pull the rolls out of the oven the cheese will be bubbling away. The excitement to break apart each roll and enjoy them is immediate. And that’s exactly what you should do! Serve the rolls right away while the cheese is still warm and gooey. These rolls are like pizza, but in a fun new form, and with delicious garlic butter in every bite. The garlic butter really does make these rolls better than all the rest!
I’m excited to have these on hand for Sunday night games, but also for the upcoming holiday season! Great for Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, and all the holiday parties to come in December! They’re even festive and pretty.
