Recipe: Gourmet Pizza Rolls

It’s a rainy Sunday. All plans previously made flew out the window, and we spent the last 5 hours watching every documentary Netflix through Wii has listed. After watching Ralph Nader, some biggots in Mississippi, and the late, great Michael Jackson, it was time for lunch.

We go to the fridge to see what we can do for a quick, easy something, and pull out crescent rolls, ricotta, fresh basil, tomatoes and this amazing pecorino pepato I picked up at Russo’s. Well that was easy! Gourmet pizza rolls it is!

1 packet refrigerated crescent roll dough

2 small vine tomatoes (seeded and diced)

Handfull of fresh basil leaves (chopped)

Ricotta Cheese (1 tsp per roll)

Pecorino Cheese (1 slice per roll)

  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Flatten 1 crescent roll dough
  • Sprinkle some tomato and basil in a line on the thick end of the roll
  • Place pecorino slice on top
  • Place 1 tsp of ricotta on top
  • Fold the sides of the roll in, and roll down to the smallest portion of the roll
  • Make sure all filling is inside the roll
  • Place roll on un-greased cookie sheet
  • Repeat with remaining 7 crescent rolls
  • Bake for 13 minutes

  1. I’ve done the kid-friendly (i.e. not gourmet) version of hese, but these look fabulous! Yum, I bet spinach & chicken & atrichoke hearts would be good, too! Thanks for the whirwind of ideas 🙂

  2. We did do half with rotisserie chicken in place of tomato, and those were fabulous as well!
