Baci took the weekend off ("Handpicked" will resume next Monday), but we're back and ready to bake!
I absolutely love to entertain so I'm always on the lookout for simple and delicious appetizers so I was SO excited when I stumbled across this recipe for Cheese Crescent Triangles on Pillsbury's web site. My recipe is slightly tweaked from their version and they truly are delicious - each time I bake them for a party they're gone almost instantly!
Cheese Crescent Triangles
1 3.5 oz. package Athenos Reduced Fat Tomato & Basil Feta Cheese
1 egg, well beaten
1 package Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls
Heat oven to 375. In a small bowl, mix cheese and 3 tablespoons of the beaten egg. Separate long dough roll into 2 shorter rolls at center perforation. Unroll 1 short roll until 1 rectangle can be separated. Press diagonal perforations to seal. Cut rectangle into 6 squares. Top each dough square with cheese mixture (about a teaspoon). Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Press edges to seal and place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining three dough rectangles and cheese mixture. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with parmesan cheese. Bake 9 - 11 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 24 appetizers.
What's so great about this recipe is that you can substitute the cheese mixture with nearly anything you like. I love switching it out for pesto!
