Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury(R) Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls

1/2 pound Prosciutto or cooked ham, thinly sliced

4 ounces Crumbled feta cheese

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1 tablespoon Olive or vegetable oil

6 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Separate dough into 4 rectangles; place on lightly floured surface. Firmly press perforations to seal. Press or roll each to form 8x5-inch rectangle.

Arrange 1/4 of prosciutto slices evenly over each rectangle. In small bowl, combine cheese, pepper and oil; mix well. Sprinkle mixture evenly over prosciutto on each rectangle. Sprinkle with basil.

Starting at short side of each rectangle, roll up; seal long edges. With serrated knife, cut each roll into 5 slices. Place, cut side up, on sprayed cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets. Serve warm.
