VALENTINE'S DAY RECIPES

8 - 10 Serving(s)

Prep Time: 15 mins

Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

- 2 crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup mozzarella shredded cheese

Directions

Step 1

Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 200°C.

On surface with parchment paper, roll out one dough of crescent dough to a 12" x 10"rectangle.

Repeat with remaining dough.

Using a paring knife (and a cut-out, heart-shaped piece of parchment, if needed), cut a large heart shape in to both rectangles, making sure they’re about the same size; discard scraps or reserve for another use.

Step 2

Take one heart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, spread tomato sauce across heart, leaving a 1/2" border on all sides. Place second heart on top.

Step 3
Press heart-shaped cookie cutter in to the center of the heart to make an indent without cutting all the way through (or with a knife as I did). Using a paring knife, cut thin strips starting from the edge of the heart indent, extending all the way through the edge. The strips will be around 1/4" at the base and 1/2" at the top, and you'll end up with about 24total.

Step 4
Carefully twist each strip 3 to 5 times without breaking it off. Lay each strip back down in its original position to maintain the heart shape. Spread the shredded cheese.

Step 5
Bake pull-apart heart until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
