Spinach, Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar and scallions are layered on a sheet of refrigerated crescent dough – and dotted with diced roasted red peppers to add a festive pop of color amid the green spinach. Then, it is rolled into a log, sliced into rounds and baked until golden, to create scrumptious, cheesy rolls that look like lovely little holiday wreaths. These cheddar rolls are sure to become a staple at your holiday table!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 18-inch by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough (do not separate into individual pieces) and pat into an 8-inch by 12-inch rectangle, gently pressing the seams closed.
Brush evenly with the mustard and then then top with the spinach, Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar, scallions and peppers, leaving a ½-inch border all the way around. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.
Roll the dough sheet into a log, starting with a short side.
Slice into 8 pinwheels and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.
