Rosemary Cream Cheese Wreath Recipe - Perfect for Guests!

[CarrieAnn]

Hi Everyone!! I had my first show tonight, and I think it was a great success!! Everybody said that if we hadn't said anything, that they never would have known it was my first show!! Anyway, a guest asked me for a recipe that she had 'cut out of the catalog' a long time ago. She said it has rosemary and cream cheese and it is made like a wreath? She said there wasn't any meat inside, and she could only remember rosemary and the cream cheese. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks so much!!

Carrie:

I think this is the recipe you're looking for. It's from FW 2003 and was one of the original Celebration Show Recipes. The instructions for the wreath are at the bottom. HTH!

Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet in a circular pattern, with the points facing out and the wide ends overlapping in the center.4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the wide ends of the crescent rolls, leaving about 1/4 inch border around the edge.5. Fold the points of the crescent rolls over the cream cheese mixture and tuck under the wide ends to form a wreath shape.6. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the wreath and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.8. Serve with crackers and vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
