Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F Place parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet. Cook the sausage, peppers, and onions if using.
- ¼ cup Sauteed Peppers & Onions,½ cup cooked Italian Sausage
- Slice up ½ cup of the pepperoni into small pieces. set aside. Cut extra capsicums (about 8-10 extra slices) into fun shapes to decorate the hat (diamonds, triangles, crescents). Set these aside.
- ½ cup finely chopped chili
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings.
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, bell pepper, onion, sausage, ½ cup chili pepper, and spice mix.
- ½ cup grated mozzarella, ¼ cup grated parmesan, 4 oz softened cream cheese
- Roll out the crescent roll into separate triangles. On the prepared baking sheet he places 4 triangles and sets the remaining 4 of him aside. (The triangle you saved will be the top of the calzone.) If you have 2 baking sheets, place 4 on each baking sheet. If you only have one, do this with a tube of crescent rolls at a time, as the dough may tear if it gets too hot.
- Crescent roll 2 packs
- Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. mix in water. Brush the edge of the croissant on the baking sheet with the egg. 1 egg, lightly beaten, 1 tbsp water
- Place 1.5-2 tablespoons in the center of each croissant roll.
- Take the other half of the croissant and place it on top of each croissant along with the cheese mixture.
- Lightly pinch the edges so that the cheese mixture stays on the croissant as it bakes.
- Fold the bottom of the crescent roll in like the brim of a witch's hat. The top of the hat is processed to look like a witch's hat. Paint the witch's hat with the egg.
- Place a fun piece of hot pepper on the brim of the hat. (triangle, rhombus, crescent moon)
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the hat.
- Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Serve with warm marinara sauce. (I use my favorite grocery store sauce and reheat it in the microwave. Transfer the sauce to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second increments until warm enough.)
- Marinara sauce, warm, and enjoy.
