Pesto Prosciutto Roll-Ups

These pesto prosciutto roll-ups are just one of the yummy holiday recipes you can make with Mezzetta! Thanks to Mezzetta for sponsoring this post and encouraging me to come up with yummy and creative holiday recipes! 

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the holiday memories it brings to mind. There’s just something about the holiday season that makes all memories great ones. My mom was the first person to introduce me to crescent rolls when she would make them to go with our dinners during the holiday season. I always remember thinking it was so funny to watch her (and then I’d try) open the cans without getting scared when the can popped. 

This holiday season since I’m missing my mom’s homemade cooking, I thought it would be fun to try out a new holiday recipe that incorporates my favorite pizza flavors with my mom’s pre-made crescent rolls. And you guys, they were delicious! Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or for an appetizer to take to a holiday party!

The beauty of this recipe is that really only three of the ingredients matter – crescent rolls, Mezzeta’s pesto, and cheese. Other than that, you can fill them up with whatever toppings you think go well with pesto. I added Mezzeta’s kalamata olives, pine nuts, and prosciutto to mine. And I can tell you right now, everyone, including my 20-month old, loved them.

And he doesn’t like anything other than pouches these days, so that’s saying something! 

Because they’re so simple to make (literally 15 minutes from fridge to table), these are definitely going into our make again category in my DIY menu board. I could see these being a lunch staple at our house. All you do is roll out the crescent roll dough, top with pesto, add toppings and cheese, then roll them up. Bake according to the crescent roll package and enjoy hot out of the oven!
