Fontina and Herb Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 ounces Fontina cheese, finely shredded (1/2 cup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2 Combine the oregano, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl.

3 Unroll crescent roll dough; separate into eight triangles. Top each with 1 tablespoon fontina and 1/2 teaspoon herbs.

4 Roll up each from the wide end. Place rolls point side down 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with remaining herbs.

5 Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Cheesemonger Tip

Both an excellent table and cooking cheese, fontina is considered one of the most versatile cheeses in the world. It has a slightly tart, nutty flavor and melts to a delicious filling in the rolls.
