Ingredients

1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
1 container (5 oz) goat cheese
2/3 cup roasted red bell peppers (from 15-oz jar), drained, patted dry with paper towel and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Small fresh oregano leaves

Directions

1

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. On floured work surface, unroll pie crust. Using 1 3/4-inch round cookie or canapé cutter, cut out 32 rounds; place about 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheets.
2

Spread about 1 teaspoon goat cheese on each dough round. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
3

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together chopped roasted peppers, finely chopped oregano, oil and garlic powder until well blended.
4

Immediately top each baked cheese-topped round with 1 teaspoon red pepper mixture; place on serving platter. Garnish each with oregano leaf. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Be sure to store goat cheese in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic and away from eggs, butter and other foods that might easily pick up flavors.
tip 2
Look for cooking parchment paper with the other paper products at the supermarket. It's great for making cookies and other items—clean up is extra easy!
