Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls 8 ounces each
  • 1 package cream cheese softened, 8 ounces
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup basil pesto divided
  • 12 sprigs fresh rosemary or to taste
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 5-inch circle on the center of the parchment paper.
  • Open both cans of dough and separate crescents into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles overlapping with the flat sides inward and the pointed sides outward to form a ring with a 5-inch circle in center.
  • Combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and 6 tablespoons pesto in a bowl. Mix until well combined, then spread around the center of the ring of crescent dough.
  • Wrap each dough triangle up over filling and tucking it under the bottom to secure. Repeat around the entire ring. Brush remaining 2 tablespoons pesto on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and cooked, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Slice into individually portioned rings, but keep all the rings in place in the shape of a wreath. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

You can add fresh rosemary sprigs and cherry tomatoes to make the wreath even more festive.
