Lets not focus on the carbs, let us instead agree on how delicious these things turned out. Absolutely flavorful and so easy to tweek the recipe to taste.

These were tasty and good. I wouldn't eat a bunch for a full meal but in moderatioon what a fine addition to dinner. Fast and easy with that gourmet flavor and style.

Reply to your carb question

The nutritional information is per serving. There are 20 servings in the recipe, so the 4 carbs are per every crescent pinwheel.

very tasty!

stop obsessing about carbs and live. food is to be appreciated, not be over indulgent in. there are good and bad carbs. the only thing people should do about all carbs is to not over indulge in them. stop obsessing about them, and live well.

What is wrong with people?!?!

questions_a_lot - May 7, 2008 04:28:00 PM PST

You can tell right away that this is obviously going to be a high calorie recipe. I do not understand why people constantly write in and complain about the calorie/fat/carb/etc. content of recipes. That's not really what you are here to rate. You're here to rate whether or not you liked the recipe. Everything in moderation right? If you don't already know that something with prociutto, cheese, and biscuits was going to be high calorie then you need to grow a brain. Would you leave a review of chocolate ice cream and complain about the nutritional info? It's idiotic and annoying. This recipe was great.

Carbs? What Carbs?

jillssha - May 7, 2008 11:32:48 AM PST

I read all of your reviews in fear of carbs. So, I decided to make them anyway, eat them all myself and chase them with a full bottle of red. When I'm done, I won't remember all the carb nonsense, won't remember if they were good or not and I'll have a great post for Al-Anon. Cheers!

Carbs are important

drakos_dj - April 23, 2008 07:18:57 AM PST

Unfortunatly, some of us have to "obsess" about the carbs. Being a diabetic I need to monitor my carb intake.

The dish looks great though.

Carbs

silverfrost - December 31, 2007 03:09:28 PM PST

Some of us have something called "diabetes" and have to worry about carbohydrates, you know. :l

Anyways, looks delicious. I might try it out someday.

I used chopped black olives and added to the cheese mixture. De-lish!

Carb question????

mackbray%40sbcglobal.net - March 27, 2007 10:08:46 AM PST

I would like to ask that the carbs be reviewed on this recipe... one biscut is over "4" carbs... or have I read the serving size wrong???

Enjoy and move on!

Lynn - April 22, 2008 07:55:37 PM PST

What's with all these people obsessing with carbs? Then start eating grass instead! Or Yahoo should stop advertising them as 'healthy' or just omit that word. A lot of Rachael Ray's recipe on Yahoo are loaded with tons of calories, etc. But who cares?! If it's not right for you, move on! Life is too short to cut everything out of our diet. Take everything in moderation and enjoy life!

Will bake again

Teresa B - May 19, 2008 09:33:18 AM PST

Nice, easy, and very delicious recipe. I didn't have fresh basil, some dried basil worked just fine. I went so far as to sprinkle a bit of dried basil on top for garnish after cooking.

carbs? gym....

miss C - May 8, 2008 07:47:03 PM PST

yummy, easy and a lot of room for experimentation, maybe no meat and add a veggie, or perhaps try one of the myriad cheeses that are so delicious out of the Med', yummmmmmm.

Yum Yum

Jillian R - May 7, 2008 11:41:11 AM PST

I made these for a wine tasting party I had!! I first tried them on my fiance and we changed things up a bit. They were easy and a HUGE hit for the wine tasting party. I set them out as appetizers and used them for pairing with the wine - they were FANTASTIC!!

This is the best recipe ever!

It was a bit dry and I have to add more seasoning but all-in-all it was great.

Too salty, but otherwise delicious

carolgs84 - April 28, 2008 06:40:59 AM PST

Prosciutto AND feta? No wonder I found this too salty. I always make a new dish by strictly adhering to the recipe and then tweaking as necessary. This would be better with either plain ham and feta, or prosciutto and a less highly-flavored cheese, like mozzarella. I also felt that there was no need for added oil.

I would like to suggest that those of you who are watching your carbs stringently due to diabetes simply avoid any recipe with obvious bread components. And those of you on reduced-salt heart-healthy diets should stay away from feta and prosciutto. (Oh, wait, maybe that should include me.) Okay, back to the veggie recipes.

Greek Themed

J&R - April 23, 2008 10:55:48 PM PST

Loved them. Made them as a theme dinner with a greek salad and olives. I think it is about fun and being different. I try to let my children taste different types of food. This was a big hit for a 12 and also the 4 year old.

yum

ginger1 - April 23, 2008 12:23:07 PM PST

but I wouldn't make them unless I could cut the fat and carbs. You are what you eat and I don't want to be fat or full of carbs like the dough boy.

cut out some fat

stemarjo2000 - April 17, 2008 10:39:23 AM PST

crescent rools come in the reduced fat variety, that have a bit less carb content check it out. They are always right next to the full fat.
Can't even tell the diff.

Pretty Good

nv_watsons - December 31, 2007 03:58:36 PM PST

I thought this recipe was good, but I made it with prosciutto ham and it was way too salty. I think it would be delicious with cooked ham. I'll give it another try!

Went over big

Mike N - December 14, 2007 11:32:58 PM PST

I just tried this recipe today to bring to a holiday pot luck and got a lot of compliments. I used the ham version and added 1/2 of a Queen Spanish olive to the top just before serving. I added the olive after tasting one fresh from the oven and feeling that it needed something. Next time I may try adding diced black olives to the wrap and see how they turn out.

Too Salty

Jennifer R - March 30, 2007 01:53:16 PM PST

I made this recipe with Boar's Head Proscuitto. The proscuitto was delicious, but made the pinwheels too salty. If you are to make this, then use very little proscuitto or try it with the ham.

Also, the serving size is one pinwheel which is unrealistic.

Had to leave out the pepper AND the Feta...

Lollipoplori - March 30, 2007 01:36:43 PM PST

...for they just don't mesh with the entire family.

I used crumbled swiss and no seasoning at all. It was delicious and very easy to make.

I havnt eaten them but...

marissaagarrett - April 17, 2008 05:07:44 PM PST

you people need to stop obsessing over your carbs! you need carbs in your body to be healthy 4 will NOT kill you. This isn't supposed to be eaten as a everyday meal. This is supposed to be a once in a while thing. Of course carb's are bad if you have like 1100 of them everyday. I'm just saying 4 will NOT kill you!
