Ingredients
- Grimm’s Honey & Garlic Pepperoni Bites
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 5 Mozzarella cheese sticks
- Everything bagel seasoning
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet (about 1/8 inch thick). Slice the puff pastry into 3-inch by 6-inch rectangles.
- Place a pepperoni bite and half a piece of mozzarella cheese stick in the center of each rectangle.
- Fold the puff pastry over the filling, leaving the ends open. Twist the ends to resemble a party popper cracker. (Optional: Use kitchen twine to tie the ends together to ensure the shape stays while baking)
- Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg, and sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning.
- Optional: using any remaining puff pastry, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to stamp small stars and place them on top to decorate the party popper.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for around 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly, then break the party popper apart to reveal the delicious cheese pull!
