What goes into the prosciutto sandwich crescents?
To make this super simple crescent roll appetizer, you will need:
- A package of crescent roll dough such as Pillsbury.
- A bit of butter.
- Sliced prosciutto.
- Fresh sage leaves.
- Fresh figs, or dried figs.
- Shredded Italian blend cheese.
These little prosciutto sandwiches are super elegant, but also SUPER easy. Just wrap a few ingredients in crescent dough, pop em in the oven- and in under 15 minutes they're ready to eat!
What if I can't find fresh figs?
If you can't find fresh figs, you can substitute the couple of slices of fresh figs that go into each crescent roll for a whole dried fig! The flavor is still delicious! Alternatively, you could also use dried apricots or dates.

I love these little bite side sandwiches as-is! Some great accompaniments are a nice bowl of creamy tomato soup, or a side of balsamic glaze to dip them in!
