Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
Toppings
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried herbs (optional, such as oregano or Italian seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a hot baking environment for perfectly cooked rolls.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Add Filling: On the wide end of each dough triangle, evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese and cooked bacon or sausage if using.
- Roll Rolls: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, making sure to seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of each roll for a shiny, golden finish when baked.
- Season Tops: Sprinkle garlic powder and dried herbs evenly over the top of the rolls for added flavor and aroma.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to enjoy them without burning your mouth.
Notes
- You can substitute the bacon or sausage with chopped vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Use your favorite cheese blend like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for varied flavors.
- Ensure edges are sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated.
- Optional herbs can be customized based on your preference or what you have on hand.
