Cheesy Pepper Rolls

I tried this recipe for the first time at Thanksgiving, and I've been making it pretty frequently since then. This is an easy one for cheesy roasted red pepper rolls. You only need five simple ingredients! And altogether this takes about 20 minutes, most of which is the baking time for the rolls.

*Yields 8 rolls*

Ingredients:

Pack of crescent rolls, store bought
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 jar of roasted red peppers, diced
1 tbsp. of grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

On a nonstick baking sheet, lay out the crescent rolls flat. Once the cream cheese is softened a bit, mix it with the shredded mozzarella. Place a spoonful of this onto each crescent roll. Now dice your roasted red peppers and add a spoonful of these to each roll as well. Roll up your filling into the crescent rolls. This gets a bit messy but as long as they're rolled up they'll taste great. Now, bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.

When they come out of the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan on top of the rolls while they are hot, so it sticks.

Serve up as a side dish or appetizer and enjoy!
