The holidays are here and that means lots of parties, dinners, and entertaining. If you are hosting company for the holidays and need a simple and delicious roll recipe, you have to try our Pesto, Roasted Red Pepper, and Cheese Crescent Rolls. They are simple to make and always a hit! The festive red and green filling makes these rolls perfect for any holiday party or meal.

You only need four ingredients to make these tasty rolls: Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, basil pesto, roasted red peppers, and shredded mozzarella cheese. I pulled out our Spinach Basil Pesto from the freezer, but store-bought pesto will work too! December is all about shortcuts:) Life is busy!

To make the rolls, unroll the crescents and fill them with pesto, roasted peppers, and cheese!

Roll them up to form a perfect crescent roll!

They may look like plain crescent rolls on the outside, but the goodies are hidden in the center. When you bite into the crescent rolls you will get a pleasant surprise! Pesto, roasted red peppers, and cheese make these crescent rolls extra special! All of my favorite things wrapped up into one crescent roll.
