Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients: thinly sliced pepperoni, cream cheese, everything but the bagel seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sprinkle in about a tablespoon of everything but the bagel seasoning. Blend until creamy.
  3. Stack 2-3 slices of pepperoni, spoon a generous amount of creamy filling into the center, top with another slice of pepperoni and press gently.
