    8 ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)

    7 - 7 1/2 ounce jar roasted red sweet peppers, well drained and chopped (1/3 cup)

1. For filling, in smal skillet cook onion and garlic in hot margarine or butter for 3 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in cream cheese, roasted red peppers, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

2. Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10-inch square. Cut pastry sheet into sixteen 2-1/2-inch squares. Brush the edges of each pastry square with milk. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling off-center on each pastry square. Fold each square in half over the filling, forming a rectangle. Seal edges by pressing with the tines of fork. Cut decorative slits in the top of each pastry. Brush with milk and sprinkle with the additional Parmesan cheese.
