The Cheese Hours D'oeurves
These cheese, prosciutto and dried cranberry filled crescent roll 'quesadillas' make delicious hors d'oeuvres.

2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto or ham, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary - divided use
1/3 cup dried cranberries or cherries, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Cooking Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press contents of one can of crescent roll dough onto parchment paper to form a 9 x 12-inch rectangle, taking care to seal seams of dough.
Top dough with Fontina, prosciutto or ham, dried cranberries, 1/2 of the rosemary and sugar. - On another sheet of parchment, press remaining can of dough into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle. Using parchment paper, transfer dough to cover cheese mixture. Carefully peel away parchment paper. Press seams closed. Sprinkle with remaining rosemary.
