Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Cooked Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.
Unroll and lay one sheet of puff pastry on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, ensuring it covers the base evenly. Trim any overhang, if required.
Spread 3/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the puff pastry.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked Italian sausage, diced green bell pepper, and sliced black olives.
Add a layer of pepperoni slices and sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the toppings for added flavor.
Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place it carefully on top of the filling. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges together to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top sheet of puff pastry to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Using a sharp knife, cut small slits into the top puff pastry layer to allow steam to escape.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, cheesy Pizza Puff Casserole with your favorite sides or a simple green salad.
