Italian Pinwheels

We had a Happy Hour at the clubhouse today in the RV park and this is a great one to take that will not be messy finger food. It also does well if it sits out on a table for a while - you don't have to worry about temperature.  It only takes about 5 minutes to prepare and the ingredients are simple.  Makes about 20 bite size apps.  I borrowed this recipe from the Pillsbury site.

Ingredients
1 can of Pillsbury crescent rolls
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup of chopped pepperoni
1 egg yolk and 1 egg white - separate them
1 tsp oregano
parchment paper 
Preheat oven to 375F.
Open crescent roll package and pinch seams together to make one piece of dough.  In a small bowl mix the cheese, pepperoni, egg yolk and oregano.  Spread on the dough.  Roll up long ways.
I use a kitchen scissor to cut into pieces.  Start at the half way point and then work both ways with a full scissor cut through.  It kind of squishes together but when you lay them flat on the baking pan which you need to put parchment paper on first....  I just kind of form them back into a circle.  Using a brush - dip into the egg yolk and sweep on the pinwheels.  I cover them twice.  Then bake for 12 minutes.  Best warm but still good even in a couple of hours.
