A quick and delightful recipe for cheesy pizza pockets, perfect for a snack or light meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Lay out the pie crusts on a cutting board and cut each into quarters, creating 8 wedges.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean cuts.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, prepared pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning.
Ensure the filling is well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling onto one half of each crust wedge.
Avoid overfilling to prevent the pockets from bursting during baking.
Fold the unfilled side of each wedge over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Press firmly to ensure the edges are sealed to keep the filling inside.
Place the sealed pockets on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the pockets to avoid overbaking.
Let the pizza pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
