Ingredients
Scale
Roll Dough and Filling
- 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 and Finishing
- 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 for baking the rolls.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: On the wide end of each dough triangle, evenly sprinkle shredded cheese and the optional cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll each triangle starting from the wide end towards the pointed tip, making sure to seal the edges to keep the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls to achieve a shiny, golden finish when baked.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder and, if desired, the dried herbs on top of each roll for added flavor.
- Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese melts inside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and to enhance flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with other ingredients like cooked spinach, mushrooms, or different types of cheese.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and increase the cheese or add vegetables.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast.
- Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven’s performance and roll size.
