Tastes Like Food

Last Sunday, we hosted the Front Range Supper Club at our place: a once-a-month get together of fellow Boulderites, Denverites, and Longmontians. We have a feast (everybody brings a dish or two) and discuss a scintillating book. This time around, my partner made these bite-size hors d’oeuvres.

How to make these beauties: 2 tubes of crescent rolls (cut each crescent roll triangle in half), a half a pack of pepperoni diced small and then mixed into half a tub of cream cheese. Load up each little triangle with a teaspoon of the cream cheese-pepperoni mixture and pink the corners of the dough together at the top. Bake at 350° until they’re lightly browned at the edges (8-10 minutes). The “recipe” he found for these appetizers called them “White Trash Puffballs”. I thought “Wontons in a Blanket” was a little better, combining the wonton look, with the meat-wrapped-in-dough “blanket” aspect. All the meat and dairy eaters in the Supper Club thoroughly enjoyed them. And I thought they looked super cute.
