You can make many things with store-bought crescent rolls, whether you are looking for a sweet or savory treat. Plus kids love them, always a win in my house. We have made the best crescent roll recipes, and these Cheesy Pesto Crescents are no exception.
In the past we have made Pepperoni Pizza Crescents and Peach Pie Crescents. But this recipe combines three of my favorite ingredients: crescent rolls, cheese and pesto. Yum!
Crescent Roll Recipes: Cheesy Pesto Crescents
Ingredients:
- 8 count crescent rolls
- 4 string cheese
- 8 teaspoons pesto sauce (approx. 3 tablespoons)
One of my favorite things about most crescent roll recipes are that they can be made in the toaster oven. Simply preheat the toaster oven to 350 degrees and in a few minutes you'll be enjoying this cheesy treat.
Unroll the tube of crescents and separate them into triangles. In each triangle place a teaspoon of pesto sauce and ½ of a string cheese. Roll into a crescent shape. Seal the edges as much as you can at this point. It might require some stretching of the dough to get the edges sealed.
Bake these cheesy pesto crescents at 375 degrees from 11-13 minutes, until the tops turn golden brown. Mine were done closer to the 11 minute mark. They are at their best when they are warm and the gooey cheese just oozes out of them.
You'll love how this is one of those kids recipes that the entire family will want again and again!
