When I was a kid, pizza was my absolute favorite meal. I could easily eat it every day for breakfast, lunch, or dinner—and let's be honest, probably at any time in between. And if I could’ve gotten away with it, I probably would’ve eaten pizza for every meal! There’s just something about the combo and satisfaction of that melty cheese pull, crispy edge pepperoni, (the crispy edge is a must) and tangy sauce that has always felt like the ultimate comfort food. Unfortunately for my husband, even as an adult, my pizza obsession hasn’t faded not...one….bit.. and I could still eat it for every meal. However, I’m now always on the lookout for new, fun ways to enjoy it that fit a busy lifestyle or feels a bit more errr adultier? Enter: pepperoni pizza egg rolls.
​
These are a total game-changer for pizza lovers, and the best part? They’re quick, easy, and a little more on the "somewhat healthy" side than ordering delivery (though I’ll never say no to that either!). Imagine all the things you love about pizza rolled up into a crispy, handheld snack that’s perfect for on-the-go or as a fun family treat. The garlic butter topping adds an extra layer of deliciousness that makes these eggrolls seriously irresistible. I tested these little gems out during a recent Sunday Funday Football gathering and they were a huge hit! These are perfect for a quick bite, and because they’re so easy to make, they’ve quickly become one of my go-to snacks. The crispy, cheesy, pizza goodness wrapped up in a portable little eggroll? I’m sold. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll want to keep them in your weekly snack rotation too.
