  • 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll dough on lightly greased baking sheet; firmly press seams together to form 12×4-inch rectangle.

Brush top with any remaining egg.
