- Pizza Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Pepperoni
- Green Bell Pepper
- Black Olives
- Egg Wash
- Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently roll it out to about a 12×12 inch square.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut out Christmas tree shapes from the puff pastry.
- Place half of the puff pastry trees on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each tree with a thin layer of pizza sauce, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle each tree with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by pepperoni, green bell pepper, and black olives.
- Carefully place the remaining puff pastry trees on top of the topped trees, creating a sandwich. Gently press the edges together to seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and a tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the puff pastry trees with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle the tops of the trees with Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza bites cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. These are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
