  • 2 –3 tbsp pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Preheat Oven:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Puff Pastry:
  1. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 8 strips, about 2 inches wide.
Layer Ingredients:
  1. Place 3–4 slices of pepperoni along one long edge of each strip. Sprinkle with mozzarella and a pinch of Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
Roll Into Roses:
  1. Carefully roll each strip into a spiral, keeping the filling inside, to form a “rose.”
Place in Muffin Tin:
  1. Set each rolled rose upright in a muffin tin.
Egg Wash & Bake:
  1. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Serve:

Vegetarian Option: Replace pepperoni with roasted bell peppers or spinach.
Make Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Serving Idea: Serve as an appetizer, snack, or part of a Valentine’s brunch board.
Fun Presentation: Arrange roses in a bouquet-style platter for a festive look.
