Easy Bruschetta Snacks


This recipe from our "untried recipe box" was selected by Keegan. When we got home from church today he asked if I would make it. Um... you need to help me buddy!

So, we made this very easy snack to tide us over until dinner! It was so easy and so yummy.

(Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest entry posted in AZ Republic)


6 tsps. olive oil
4 1/2 tsps. sesame seeds
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 can (6oz) pitted ripe olives, drained
1 cup finely chopped tomato
3/4 cup grated Parmesan and Romano cheese blend

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush large cookie sheet with 1 tsp. of the oil; sprinkle evenly with 2 tsps. sesame seeds. Unroll dough; place over sesame seeds, firmly pressing perforations to seal. Press to form 15 by 12-inch rectangle.

Brush dough with 2 tsps. of the oil; sprinkle evenly with remaining sesame seeds. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in food processor bowl with metal blade or in blender container, combine olives and remaining 3 tsps. olive oil. Process until olives are finely chopped.

Spread olive mixture over partially baked crust. Top with tomato and cheese. Bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Cut into rectangles. Serve warm. Makes 15 servings.


NOTES: I did not have any olives so we skipped that part. I just added a little more olive oil over the partially baked crust before adding the tomatoes and cheese. Also, we added some basil with the tomatoes.
VERDICT: Everyone, but Kaleigh, LOVED it! Kaleigh doesn't like tomatoes so her vote doesn't really count!
