I used crescent rolls and filled them with the tomato pesto mix. Much easier!

Strangely bland. I used roma tomatoes because they were cheap; possibly a more flavorful tomato would help. But the basic idea is super, very easy to create your own fillings.

Family and friends loved them. I have a friend that is not big on tomatoes but still talked about how good they were. They were easy and most definately a re-do in our house.
