These Garlic Butter Pizza Egg Rolls are a cheesy, flavor-packed appetizer perfect for game day or holiday gatherings. Crispy baked egg rolls are filled with a delightful blend of mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, and Italian herbs, then brushed with garlic sage butter and served with marinara sauce for dipping.

  • Total Time: 50 mins
  • Yield: 12 egg rolls

Ingredients

Cheese and Herb Mixture

  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 pinch chili flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated (divided)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1-1 ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 12-16 square egg roll wrappers
  • ½ cup thinly sliced pepperoni
  • 8 tbsp salted butter (divided)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
  • Water for sealing egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
  2. Mix Cheese and Herbs: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup grated parmesan, dried basil, oregano, parsley, chili flakes, and 1 clove of grated garlic. Stir in the shredded mozzarella until well mixed.
  3. Assemble Egg Rolls: Brush water around the edges of each egg roll wrapper to help them seal. On each wrapper, layer 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, 1 slice of provolone cheese, about 1 tablespoon of the mozzarella mixture, and 1 slice of pepperoni. Be careful not to overstuff. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Butter and Parmesan Topping: Melt 5 tablespoons of butter and brush each roll generously with it. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining ¼ cup parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake and Flip: Bake the egg rolls for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip them over, add 1-2 additional pepperoni slices on top, and bake for another 8-10 minutes. The cheese might melt out slightly—this is normal and adds to the flavor.
  6. Prepare Garlic Sage Butter: While baking, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the fresh sage and cook until the sage crisps up, then remove from heat and stir in the remaining grated garlic clove.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the oven, brush each generously with the garlic sage butter, and serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
  • If your egg roll wrappers vary in size, use the 12 largest to ensure proper rolling and baking.
  • Fresh sage can be substituted with dried, but fresh provides the best flavor and crisp texture.
  • Leftover marinara can be warmed for serving or used in other Italian dishes.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, substitute pepperoni with roasted vegetables or omit it entirely.
