Ingredients
Scale
Rolls
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
Toppings & Seasoning
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when your rolls are assembled.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the pre-scored lines.
- Add Fillings: On the wide end of each triangle, evenly sprinkle shredded cheese and the optional cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage.
- Roll the Dough: Starting from the wide end, tightly roll each triangle toward the point, making sure to seal the edges so the filling doesn’t spill out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents seam side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg until smooth, then brush it evenly over the top of each roll to create a glossy, golden finish once baked.
- Season Rolls: Lightly sprinkle the tops with garlic powder and dried herbs if using, to add extra flavor and aroma.
- Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and safety.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the cheese with any preferred type such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon or sausage and add sautéed vegetables or mushrooms instead.
- These rolls can be prepared in advance and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crust crispiness.
