Parmesan Bites Appetizer
A quick and tasty appetizer recipe with the flavors of parmesan, cream cheese, red peppers, and parsley. Can be made ahead of time too!
Yield: 16 appetizers
Ingredients:
- 2 tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese - softened
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus a little more for sprinkling)
- 1 cup chopped red pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Separate the two tubes of crescent rolls into 8 rectangles. Press the diagonal perforations to seal.
- Mix the cream cheese and the parmesan together using an electric mixer until well blended.
- Spread some of the cream cheese mixture on each rectangle, dividing the mixture evenly among the 8 rectangles. Top with the chopped red pepper and parsley.
- Then fold up each long end of the rectangle toward the middle, enclosing the filling and creating a "log". Cut each log into four or five smaller pieces.
- Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little bit more grated parmesan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.
