MAKES 24 SERVINGS
1 (8-ounce) container fresh mozzarella ciliegine cheese (24 cherry-size balls)
1 (11-ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Original Bread- sticks
3 tablespoons basil pesto
1 tablespoon Crisco 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Pure Olive Oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
24 frilled toothpicks
24 grape tomatoes
24 fresh basil leaves

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 24 mini-muffin cups with cooking spray. Drain cheese balls; pat dry with paper towels.

On work surface, unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick in half crosswise; press each half into (3-by-2-inch) rectangle. Spread rounded ¼ teaspoon of pesto lengthwise down center of each dough rectangle. Place 1 cheese ball on each rectangle.

Carefully stretch dough around cheese; pinch edges to seal completely.
Place seam sides down in muffin cups. Brush with oil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 14 to 20 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan.

With each toothpick, spear tomato and basil leaf; insert into cheese ball. Serve warm.
