Meatball Bundles
Ingredients
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent dough
  • 2 (15 oz) packages fully cooked meatballs in sauce
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 12 medium basil leaves
Steps
    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat baking sheet with spray. Unroll dough; divide into triangles, then cut each triangle into 3 lengthwise strips (24 pieces total).
    2. Remove meatballs from sauce (reserve sauce) and cut into quarters. Slice cheese into 24 small pieces; cut basil in half.
    3. Place 1 piece each meatball, cheese, and basil at 1 end of each dough triangle; roll up and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining meatballs, cheese, basil, and dough.
    4. Coat bundles with spray. Bake 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and filling is 165°F. Microwave reserved sauce on HIGH 2 minutes or until hot. Serve meatball bundles with sauce on side for dipping.
Asian-Style Pork Won Ton Bites
Ingredients
  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • ½ lb Deli mojo pork
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce (+ more, optional for serving)
  • ⅓ cup sliced fresh green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 12 square won ton skins
  • ¼ cup egg substitute
  • Cooking spray
Steps
    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Shred pork, if needed. Combine pork (including onions), sweet chili sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.
    2. Arrange won ton skins on flat work surface; brush with egg substitute. Place about 2 tablespoons pork mixture in center of each won ton skin. Fold 2 opposite corners together, meeting in the middle, then bring up other 2 corners, pinching to seal together; arrange on baking sheet.
    3. Coat won tons with spray; bake 10–12 minutes until golden and filling is 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Serve with extra chili sauce for dipping, if using.
Serving Suggestions
  • These recipes work well together or individually. Finish with gourmet pastries and desserts from the Publix Bakery.
  • You can serve any extra goat cheese mixture from the shrimp appetizer as a dip with chips.
  • The pork recipe has a kick of heat; you can reduce the amount of chili sauce by one-half for a milder heat.
