Italian Pizzette: Mom’s Italian Pinwheels

Mom’s Italian Pinwheels. In Italy called pizzette.

We attended our first ‘neighborhood’ party this evening, and had a lot of fun meeting neighbors.

I was requested to bring a side dish, appetizer, or dessert, and since I’m still riding the cookie high from Christmas, I went with an appetizer.

And an easy one, to boot!

SERVING: Makes 24 appetizers

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup sliced Italian Salami, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls or ‘recipe creations’ dough sheet
• 1 egg white, beaten

METHOD:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, mix cheese, salami,oregano and egg yolk.
3. If using crescent rolls: unroll dough, separate dough into 4 rectangles and firmly press preforations to seal. If using dough sheets: unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
4. Spread each rectangle with about 3 tablespoons salami mixture.
5. Starting at the short side, roll up each rectangle, pinching the edges to seal.
6. Cut each roll into 6 slices and place, cut side down, about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Brush with the beaten egg white.
8. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Serve warm.
