Pesto Crescent Swirls

Hosting or attending a New Years bash?  Try out these Pesto Crescent Swirls from Pillsbury.  I'm a big fan of flavorful pesto, and when aren't crescent rolls a hit?  With just three to four ingredients {including the garnish!}, you can whip these up in a jiffy!  This recipe yields 12 'swirls', but is a snap to double if you need more.

 Make your crescent swirls with green pesto, red pesto ~ or both!

  Spread pesto across dough sheets

 Roll up dough, slice, and bake!

Pesto Crescent Swirls 

Ingredients

1     can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1/4  cup basil pesto

1/4  cup sun-dried tomato pesto or roasted red pepper pesto

1     Tbsp fresh chopped basil leaves

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Unroll dough; separate into 2 long rectangles.  On 1 dough rectangle, spread thin layer of basil pesto.  Reroll dough; cut roll into 6 (1/2-inch) slices.  Place slices on an ungreased cookie sheets.

Repeat with remaining rectangle of dough and tomato pesto.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or just until golden brown.  Remove from cookie sheet to serving platter.  Garnish with a sprinkle of basil.  Serve warm.

If you prefer to use just one type of pesto, use a 1/2 cup of your preferred pesto and eliminate the other.
