How to Make Italian Cheese Crescent Roll Appetizers

Serve Italian cheese pastry appetizers at a work brunch, as a snack at home or for a party. Your palate will savor the delicate flavors of melted cheese and savory pastry. The quick recipe can be made ahead of time and placed in plastic storage containers or plastic bags. Freeze a baked batch for a quick snack to have on hand when the munchies appear. Reheat in a microwave in a covered container for one to two minutes before serving.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Open a refrigerated can of eight regular crescent dinner rolls. Unroll the triangles onto a counter top or a sheet of wax paper for easy clean up.

2. Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded assorted Italian cheeses onto the eight dough triangles. Begin rolling each crescent roll at the wide end. Secure each roll by overlapping the pointed end and the two sides of the dough.

3. Cut the rolled dough into three slices.

4. Place the slices on a greased baking pan. For easier clean up, line the baking pan with a sheet of greased aluminum foil. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown.

5. Remove from the oven, and cool slightly before serving. This recipe makes 24 small appetizers.
