Im excited about this one! We basically stuffed egg rolls with pizza filling. We had initially though that we would make them fried, but we ended up baking them because we know it’s so much easier for everyone. You can definitely change up the filling if you like something different, but I personally love pepperoni. My favorite thing about this recipe is the ease of using the egg roll wrappers, and how crispy and chewy they get after baking. So freaking good. Bookmark this one!

Crispy Baked Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls
Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS
filling
- 12 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni, divided

INSTRUCTIONS
- Chop 8 ounces (⅔’s) pepperoni and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan, mozzarella, marinara, and oregano to pepperoni and mix together until completely combined.

What’s the reason for double stacking the egg roll wrappers?
It helps prevent then from bursting when being cooked up and just holds the filling in better :)
Golden crisp and melted cheese…heavenly!
This is now my goto recipe when I want something delicious and relatively quick.
I don’t feel guilty when I crave those crunchy cheese sticks!
This has to be so freaking good.
Thanks for giving me this idea I’m going to be using these raps a lot .
