Italian Mozzarella Roll-Ups
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 16 pieces
- Total: 30 min
- Active: 10 min
Ingredients
4 slices prosciutto
1 jarred roasted red pepper
One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup pesto, plus more for serving
16 frozen mozzarella sticks
Marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into 4 pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches. Cut the roasted red pepper into 16 strips, each about 1/2 inch by 2 inches.
- Unroll the dough on a cutting board. Spread the pesto on the dough in an even layer. Cut the dough along the perforated lines to create 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to create 16 long, thin triangles.
- Lay a mozzarella stick across the bottom of the wide end of one of the triangles. Lay 1 strip of red pepper crosswise next to the mozzarella, then lay 1 piece of prosciutto over most of the remaining pesto layer. Starting at the wide end, roll up the dough tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough, prosciutto, red pepper and mozzarella sticks.
- Bake until the dough is golden brown and cooked through and the mozzarella sticks are heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm with marinara and more pesto for dipping.
