Tomato Basil Snack

Posted on January 5, 2011 by Hang Onto Your Fork

This is a great snack/ appetizer that is inspired from a little cafe in England called Pret.

1 canister crescent roll

2-3 plum tomatoes

Fresh basil

Thick slices of mozzarella cheese

Preheat the over to 375. Unroll the crescent dough and press perforations of 2 triangles together. Put a slice of cheese, tomato and basil on each section. Fold up however you like (I bring 2 corners together and pinch in the middle. Bake for about12-15 minutes, until the crescent is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Stuffed Mushrooms

This is a recipe that I came up with that is delicious and pretty healthy, too!

Portabello Mushrooms

1 pound ground turkey

1 pound spinach

1 cup red wine

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/2 TBS fresh rosemary

Preheat the oven to 350. Gently wipe the tops of the mushrooms with a wet paper towel or clothe to clean. Scrape the gills out with a spoon.

Brown the ground turkey in the skillet. Add the red wine and continue to simmer. Add the spinach and let it wilt down. Add the breadcrumbs to the pan and stir until combined. Sprinkle in the rosemary and cook for a minute or so. Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps and bake for about 10-12 minutes.

* It’s also delicious to add a bit of cheese into the mix. The first time I made it I used a sharp English cheddar and it was really tasty!

I wish the pictures did the flavor more justice!
