Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Filo (phyllo) pastry sheets
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on the baking sheet and lightly brush it with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and repeat the process until all 12 sheets are stacked, brushing butter between each layer.
Spread the marinara or pizza sauce evenly over the top layer of phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and dried Italian seasoning on top.
Drizzle olive oil lightly over the assembled pizza for added crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if desired.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the phyllo pizza into squares and serve immediately.
