{Oh So} Easy Italian Appetizer

Hey! I hope everyone is having a fab week! It’s flying by here. Today I’m going to share an oh so easy Italian appetizer with you.

I just want to thank everyone who has been so kind to comment on my posts lately, I love reading them!

As I was loading these pictures for this post, it occurred to me that I have been showing lots of recipes the past couple weeks. It’s probably because cooking is something that pretty much has to be done daily whether I want to or not. So every now and then I try to get a little bit creative because I tend to fall into food ruts, and as much as I love cooking, I get tired of my own cooking, and bored. One of these days I’ll show off some more crafts and organizing 😉

Today I have a simple, tasty Italian appetizer that is a slight twist to the classic tomato basil bruschetta, because instead of bruschetta I used crescent roll dough.

Easy Italian Appetizer

Ingredients:

  • fresh basil
  • red onion
  • roma tomatoe
  • mozzarella cheese (fresh would be delicious, but I didn’t have any)
  • crescent rolls
  • balsamic vinegar
  1. Unroll crescent rolls and flatten together on a baking sheet.
  2. Thinly slice mozzarella and cover dough.
  3. Slice Tomato, onions, and layer on top of cheese
  4. Top with basil and drizzle balsamic vinegar.
  5. Bake @ 350 for approx 15-20 min, until crust is golden brown.

I topped mine with more fresh basil after it was done baking.

Cut into squares and serve on platter drizzles with more balsamic.
Enjoy 🙂

What kinds of appetizers do you like to make? Are they mostly Italian appetizers or inspired by another cuisine? I always love creating appetizers and would love to hear about yours! Comment below and let me know!
