Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Top with cheese and 2–3 slices of pepperoni per square.
- Fold squares diagonally to form triangles or fold over into rectangles.
- Press edges together firmly using a fork to seal.
- Whisk the egg and brush over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
