We love appetizers. My family often does appetizers for special occasions. Everyone brings 2 appetizers, and then we also plan a dessert. This was the exact plan for Christmas Eve this year.  This Caprese Crescent® Appetizer Recipe I’m offering today only has five ingredients, which makes it easy and cost effective. The classic caprese flavors of tomato, mozzarella and basil were delivered in a tasty little package that you might want to consider the next time appetizers are on the menu.

Caprese Crescent Appetizer Recipe - Great Appetizers

Christmas is a special time for our family, and my side of the family especially loves to celebrate with food. There is a lot of talk and planning that goes into not only having some of our favorite recipes present but also trying new creations. We enjoy food. We enjoy experimenting. We are the type of people who are talking about what we are going to eat for lunch while we are having breakfast. This kind of heritage leads me to invent bites like this Caprese Crescent® Appetizer Recipe. Gathering around the kitchen with great food really is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I would love for you to share some of your holiday #warmtraditions with me too.

Crescent Dough Sheet Recipes

  • 2 cans Pillsbury® Crescent® Dough Sheet – Pillsbury® be found at your local Walmart store. This is my first experience with dough sheets, and I was super excited to find them at Walmart. For other recipes where I’ve wanted a sheet, I’ve pinched together all the Crescent® triangles and then rolled it out.
  • 1/2 cup Pesto – Here’s a great homemade recipe if you would rather make it from scratch.
  • 8 oz Mozzarella, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 2 large Tomatoes or 4-5 Roma Tomatoes
  • Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Egg Yolk
