New Year: Appetizer Ideas Parmesan Bites

New Year's has always been about appetizers for me.  I rarely sit down and enjoy a big meal all at once, nope, I get in trouble nibbling on lots of little dishes, and this is the perfect time to indulge...or get in trouble, whatever your version of this story.  This is an appetizer recipe, Jennifer at work shared a few years ago, and I finally found an excuse to try it out!  She got this recipe from kraftfood, and I remember loving it when she brought it....anything that starts with bread, and cheese is right up my alley!
Ingredients: 
8 oz of cream cheese, softened, 1 c. grated paremsan cheese, divided, 2 (8 oz) cans of crescent rolls, 1 c. of chopped red pepper, 1/4 c. fresh parsley. 
*You can substitute the fresh peppers for drained, roasted red peppers, pepperonni etc
Instructions:
1.  Beat Cream cheese, and 3/4 c. of paremesan cheese. 

2.  Chop parsley and red pepper. 

3.  Roll out dough, break apart pairs of crescent traingles, and press seams to make a rectangle.  Place three T of cheese mix, and sprinkle with peppers and parsley. 

4.  Fold and press edges together, and then slice into 4 equal pieces.  Sprinkle with the last 1/4 of parmesan (I switched to the bottled kind at this point....I just like it better as a topping, but do whatever floats our cheese boat). 

Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes.  32 servings total. 

For other appetizer ideas I love (and I should know), I created an appetizer label to click on below this post, they should pop up.
