Mediterranean Crescent Rolls

Step 1: Rolls ... When using either crescent rolls or puff pastry, always lay the dough flat on a piece of parchment dusted with a little flour and roll out slightly. Now, crescent rolls already have perforated lines that separate the dough into triangles; but puff pastry does not. So separate the crescent rolls into the triangles; but for the puff pastry, cut in to approximately 4 1/2" squares and then cut in half diagonally to form triangles. The size does not have to be exact, don't worry about that.

Step 2: Filling ... Spread the softened cream cheese on the dough, top with tapenade (make sure to drain using a slotted spoon, so you don't get extra liquid; and finish with a few feta crumbles. Roll up and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Egg Wash ... Mix the egg with the olive oil and brush on the crescent rolls. Sprinkle with pepper.

Step 4: Bake ... Preheated oven at 375 degrees, middle shelf. Make sure to check the package directions for baking the rolls or puff pastry, but I have found that 375 usually works well. Bake until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve ... As I said - an appetizer, snack, or a side to your favorite meal. ENJOY!
