Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12-16 slices pepperoni thinly sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- Mozzarella pearls
- Long toothpicks or small wooden skewers
Instructions
- Start by taking the thin slices of pepperoni. You’ll want to arrange them in a way that allows you to create the rose shape.
- Take one slice of pepperoni and gently fold it in half. Then, place additional slices around the first slice, slightly overlapping each piece to create a layered effect.
- Once you have your rose shape formed, carefully slide a toothpick or small skewer through the center to hold it together.
- Next, take a fresh basil leaf and place it next to your pepperoni rose on the skewer. Follow this with a mozzarella pearl. You can alternate between the rose, basil, and mozzarella as desired.
- Repeat the process until you have made all your skewers. Arrange them on a serving platter and get ready to wow your guests!
