    Ingredients

    • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough

    • 1/2 cup basil pesto

    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • 1 unit egg (beaten for egg wash)

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking.
    • Roll out the crescent roll dough and separate along pre-cut lines to make triangles.
    • Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet in a circle with points outward, slightly overlapping the edges.
    • Spread the basil pesto over the dough rings, ensuring even coverage for every bite.
    • Sprinkle both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the pesto-covered dough.
    • Carefully fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the cheese and pesto mixture to form a wreath.
    • Brush the dough with beaten egg to give a golden-brown sheen once baked.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
    • Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
