Cream Cheese Pesto Appetizer

This is my favorite go-to hors d'oeuvre.  It is always a crowd pleaser.  It is super fast and easy to make.  Keeping the ingredients around make this a great option for an appetizer in a pinch!





1 container refrigerated crescent rolls
2 red roasted peppers, chopped up
4-6 tablespoons pesto, depending on taste
8 oz cream cheese
crackers








Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll crescent rolls in one sheet into a greased 9X13 pan.  Press dough together to seal the seams.   


Spread out 2-3 tablespoons of pesto onto the dough into a rectangle the same size as the block of cream cheese.  


Cut the cream cheese in half length wise.  Place one half over the pesto.  Cover with the chopped red peppers.  Top with the other half of cream cheese and top with remaining pesto.  



Fold sides of dough onto top of cream cheese and press to seal.  Fold up smaller sides and press to seal.

  

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.  Serve warm with crackers.
