  1. Now these are my kind of crescent rolls! I love the flavor combination you used! What a a great way to zip up crescent rolls! I love it!!! Have a fab weekend!

  2. Pesto, red peppers and mozzarella is one of my fav combos! Throwing it inside a butter, flaky and delicious crescent roll? Genius girl!
    Plus, I love how easy, but fancy these look. It’s always awesome when you can trick people into believing you slaved in the kitchen for them!

  3. It’s 7 a.m. and I want these things for breakfast! Seriously, I always have fresh-roasted red peppers in my fridge and this combo sounds sooo good. Making these asap. Thanks, Maria!

  4. I LOVE crescent roll recipes! This looks so pretty and delicious…I think I’ll be bringing them to my mom’s Christmas dinner celebration. Thanks!

  5. I love using crescent rolls as a blank canvas! The possibilities are endless – these look delicious!

  6. I love this! Aren’t crescent rolls the best? I love this savory version. I posted a pesto appetizer today too, I’ve got pesto on the brain!

  7. What a great thing to bring to a party! I’m sure these would be an immediate hit at any holiday parties I go to this year. This is definitely a classy way to dress up crescent rolls.

  8. Pillsbury processed canned rolls- ugh! So disappointing! Dont sell your soul to the devil Maria lol! We much prefer homemade, natural, from scratch!!!

  9. All that goodness inside… Mmm. I can imagine how amazing that first bite (and subsequent bites!) would be!

  10. Just made these, they were wonderful! I have a very limited kitchen, so I love that it involved four simple ingredients with minimal cleanup and preparation. They turned out looking and tasting wonderfully. I will definitely bring these to the next party I attend!

  11. These look fantastic! I would love to double the recipe and make for a larger crowd. Quick question: Are these best served hot out of the oven or are they still fabulous warm/room temp? Thanks!

  12. You’ve just made my day! Pesto and crescent rolls are my two all time favourite. Never thought of mixing them though!
