Italian Pizza Pockets

This post contains affiliate links. See full disclosure here. 

My family loves pizza, so I always try and create different recipes that incorporate pizza ingredients such as my Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Casserole and Pepperoni Pizza Dip. These meals were a huge hit in my family so I knew that I needed to come up with another recipe that used pizza ingredients. Since my family likes to spend the weekend watching movies and lounging around the house, I wanted to make a simple snack that would keep them satisfied throughout the day. These Italian Pizza Pockets were perfect for their weekend Italian Pizza Pockets. 

What I love the most about these Italian Pizza Pockets is that you can change the ingredients to fit your taste buds and your family’s taste buds. I love to change the ingredients each time I make these.

• 8oz ground Italian sausage
• 1 cup pepperoni quartered
• 4oz cream cheese
• 1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 egg
• Pizza crust or crescent rolls (I used crescent rolls)
• Salt/Pepper to taste
• Marina for dipping 

The steps to these Italian Pizza Pockets are simple. 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees 
• Cook the ground sausage
• Once sausage is cooked, add the pepperoni to the sausage mixture & stir
• Slowly add the fresh spinach, stir, and allow to wilt
• Remove from heat & let cool for 10mns
• Add the cream cheese, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese to the meat mixture and allow to melt
• Open the crescent rolls & scoop a teaspoon of mixture onto the center of them
• Fold the crescent rolls over the meat mixture and close
• Beat the egg and brush the top of the pizza pocket with egg wash
• Bake for 8-14 minutes (mine cooked relatively quick, but all ovens are not the same)
