Pesto & Goat Cheese Pinwheels

I love to cook for people and I always love new recipes. I found a pinwheel recipe and decided to put some of my favorite ingredients in it instead! I also make a pizza with these ingredients (plus a few extra) that is my absolute favorite!



Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 4 Tablespoons Pesto 
  • 2 oz Goat Cheese, crumbled
  • 6 (or more according to taste) Kalamata Olives, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Unroll crescent rolls; separate into 2 long rectangles. Press each into 12x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
  • Spread pesto over each rectangle to edges. Sprinkle each with goat cheese, olives and mozzarella.
  • Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle; press edge to seal. With serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 slices; place cut side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.  Yield: 16 appetizers.
