MINI PIZZA BITES APPETIZER RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Onto lightly floured work surface, unroll dough. Press dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 squares. Place 1 square in each muffin cup, gently pressing dough in bottom and up side of each cup.
• In 3-quart saucepan, heat olive oil. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Add artichokes and cream cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in pesto. Divide mixture evenly among dough-filled muffin cups.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust edges are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 24 miniature muffin cups with cooking spray. Unroll dough onto work surface, and reshape into 13x7 1/2-inch rectangle. (If using crescent dinner rolls, press seams together.) With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares.
• Press 1 dough square into each miniature muffin cup. Cut cheese into 24 thin wedges. Place one piece of cheese in bottom of each dough-lined cup. Fold cheese pieces in half to fit inside cups, if necessary.
• Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 3 minutes; use metal spatula to loosen edges, and remove from pan. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon preserves on top of each cup to serve.
