Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 pinch chili flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, grated (divided use)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 12–16 square egg roll wrappers
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
- 8 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 425°F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Make Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, oregano, parsley, chili flakes, and 1 grated garlic clove. Stir in mozzarella.
- Assemble Rolls: Brush water around edges of each egg roll wrapper. Layer with 1 tablespoon marinara, 1 slice provolone, 1 tablespoon cheese mixture, and 1 pepperoni slice. Roll tightly and place on baking sheet.
- First Bake: Melt 5 tablespoons butter and brush over rolls. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake 10–12 minutes, then flip, add 1–2 pepperoni slices on top, and bake another 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Make Garlic Butter: Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter with sage until sage is crisp. Remove from heat and stir in remaining garlic.
- Serve: Drizzle garlic butter over rolls and serve with warm marinara on the side.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the rolls or they may burst while baking.
- Use store-bought or homemade marinara for dipping.
- These can be prepped ahead and frozen unbaked for quick snacks later—just bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
- Swap pepperoni for chopped mushrooms or spinach for a vegetarian version.
