Pepperoni Pinwheels

By fcgra

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 egg, separated
• 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the pepperoni, cheese, oregano and egg yolk. In another small bowl, whisk egg white until foamy; set aside. Separate crescent dough into four rectangles; seal perforations.
Spread pepperoni 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 six slices.
Place cut side down on greased baking sheets; brush tops with egg white. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 dozen.
