Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 2

Refrigerated can of crescent rolls
Basil pesto (store-bought works great)

Steps:

  • 1. Open the can of crescent rolls immediately after removing from the refrigerator and un-roll the dough. The dough will be perforated into triangles (the normal size can has 8 triangles). Working quickly, cut each triangle in half, basically making 16 smaller triangles.
  • 2. Put a dollop of basil pesto in the center of each triangle, and then fold all 3 corners into the center, making it look roughly like a diaper.
  • 3. Bake at the temperature recommended on the crescent roll package, but for a few minutes less (since they are smaller). Best when served warm.
