HOLIDAY ITALIAN HERB CRESCENT CHRISTMAS TREES
Posted per request. Great Christmas appetizer! From the Pillsbury Crescent Special Edition cook book. How ever I did replace the 1/2 cup chive - and - onion potato topper with 1/2 cup of my prepared Recipe #101256. This dip has a better flavor than the potato topper. Recipe makes two trees. Prep time about an hour, decorating time...well thats up to you! I would love to see several pictures of this one, as it can be decorated several ways.

- Sprinkle each rectangle with 1 tablespoon cheese and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle, forming 4 rolls (like a jelly roll).
- With serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 slices (now they look like pinwheels).

- Repeat for 2nd tree on another cool cookie sheet.
- Place trees on serving platter.

- Place tomato slice on each pinwheel except top and bottom ones.
- With 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch star shaped cutter, cut 2 stars from yellow bell pepper; place one on top of each tree.

Tips:
- Work with cold dough: Cold dough is easier to handle and less likely to stick to your hands. If your dough is too warm, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before using.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will give you clean cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Use a baking mat or parchment paper: This will prevent the dough from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Bake the trees until they are golden brown: The trees should be cooked through but still have a little bit of a soft center.
- Serve the trees warm: The trees are best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
These holiday herb crescent trees are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any holiday party. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. Get creative with your fillings and decorations, and enjoy these tasty treats with your friends and family.
