Nice treat! I used Pillsbury Creation Dough instead of crescent rolls and made then into 12 verses 24. Mine baked in 14 minutes. Next time I might put a small layer of italian dressing on each roll before adding feta mixture. Thanks for a nice treat M2R! Made for M2R's win in The Best of 2008 Cookbook Swap.

We LOVED these! I have been testing recipe for a bridal shower that I am hosting and these passed the test. They are super easy to make and taste delicious. I made mine into squares instead of triangles. I think I would be just a tad more filling inside but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for posting a keeper!

These are lovely. I have no idea, though, how to fill them with the requisite amount of the filling. The little bit I was able to use , without all of it leaking out when cooking, was too little for me really to appreciate the balance of filling to bread. I'd prefer more filling.

Featured in my Book#237470. Originally reviewed on June 12, 2008. Perfect and easy. I used Pillsbury 4 ounce container and made a half batch. Thanks for sharing, Mom2rose. Made for ZWT4.
