Pesto and Roasted Red Pepper Bundles

This is a quick and easy Christmas appetizer that is so festive with pops of red and green! Throw these little bundles in the oven to serve for your family and friends to tide them over until you serve Christmas dinner.

Rating: 4 stars - Very Good

Ingredient List:

1 8 oz. Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls, reduced-fat

1/4 cup basil pesto

1/3 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped

1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, reduced-fat

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll the crescent rolls from their packaging.  Spread a 1/2 Tbsp. pesto and 2 tsp. chopped roasted red peppers on the large end of each crescent roll.  Sprinkle each with a bit of mozzarella cheese.  Roll each bundle from the large end to the skinniest end, carefully tucking in the edges to contain the pesto, red peppers and cheese.  Place your bundles on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.  Serve immediately!

Tip:

Although I have already lightened up this recipe with reduced-fat rolls and cheese, you can cut even more pp by slicing each crescent roll dough in half to create mini bundles!  If you choose to make the smaller version of this recipe, each bundle is only 2pp.
