Bake-Off® Contest 39, 2000 Prize Winner
For a quick appetizer, plunge these pesto-filled crescent strips into this delightfully creamy spread. Save any extra spread for topping baked potatoes, tossing with pasta, or for serving as a thick sauce with chicken.


   TWISTS
   2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
   1/2 cup purchased pesto
   2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
   
   SPREAD
   1/4 cup dairy sour cream
   1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled feta cheese
   1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese softened
   2 teaspoons olive oil
   1 teaspoon purchased pesto


Heat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets. Unroll 1 can of dough onto cutting board or sheet of waxed paper. Firmly press perforations to seal. Press or roll to form 13 x 7-inch rectangle. In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup pesto and walnuts; mix well. Spread mixture over dough.

Unroll remaining can of dough. Firmly press perforations to seal. Press or roll to form 13 x 7-inch rectangle. Carefully place dough rectangle over pesto and walnut filling. Cut filled dough in half crosswise to make two 7 x 6 1/2-inch pieces. Cut each half into 8 strips. Twist each strip tightly; place on greased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375°F. for 14 to 19 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine sour cream, feta cheese and cream cheese; mix until well blended. Place in small serving bowl. In another small bowl, combine oil and 1 teaspoon pesto. Drizzle over cheese mixture. With tip of knife, stir to marble. Serve warm twists with spread. Store any remaining spread in refrigerator.
