Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.
Prepare the Dough: Open the tube of crescent roll dough carefully—watch those fingers! Unroll the dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles.
Add Your Filling: At the wider end of each triangle, place a small amount of shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, and sprinkle some fresh herbs. Don’t overstuff; we’re not trying to create pastry explosions here!
Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the pointed tip gently but firmly. Place them seam side down on your prepared baking sheet.
Add Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and a tablespoon of water until smooth. Brush this mixture over each crescent roll to give them that gorgeous golden hue.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown. The heavenly smell will have everyone rushing to the kitchen!
