• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce, warmed

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Italian seasoning and salt. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, green pepper and onion. Separate crescent dough into four rectangles; seal perforations.

Spread cheese mixture over each rectangle to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into four slices.

Place cut side down on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with pizza sauce. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 16 appetizers.
