Savory Parmesan Bites

The fresh parsley and ripe red pepper in these warm and toasty bundles dial up the flavor in every bite. And the melty cream cheese means everyone's savoring every bite.

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

BEAT cream cheese and 3/4 cup Parmesan with mixer until well blended.

SEPARATE dough into 8 rectangles; seal seams. Spread with cream cheese mixture; top with peppers and parsley. Fold each rectangle lengthwise into thirds to enclose filling; cut into 4 squares. Place, seam-sides down, on baking sheet; top with remaining Parmesan.

BAKE 13 to 15 min. or until golden brown.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

At your next party, select a few of your favorite appetizers rather than sampling one of each to save room for your entree.

Substitute

Substitute 1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped, for the red peppers.

Variation

Substitute 1 jar (13-1/4 oz.) sliced mushrooms or 1 pkg. (3 oz.) pepperoni slices for the red peppers and parsley.

I left out the pepper & added some Tony's seasoning & crab meat. It was a hit for Thanksgiving!

I love this recipe, and it was specifically requested for Thanksgiving this year. The ONLY thing I would change is that I cut them more into pinwheel sized pieces, easier to eat as the filling doesn't ooze out as much when you take that first bite. Definitely recommend - SO EASY and SO GOOD!

I would try it again with modifications. I would try finely grated cheddar cheese for part of the parmesan. I would also make them smaller, more bite sized.

A little time consuming to prep for - but WELL worth the wait! Great recipe for apps at any holiday gathering.

good idea but filling sort of came out. tried pressing down edges but not enough spare dough. next time i would just put the filling in each crescent roll and just roll it up.
