Ingredients
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crumbled bacon until evenly mixed.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the bacon cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Starting from the wide end, gently roll up each crescent, enclosing the filling inside.
Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until golden brown and beautifully puffed.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for Extra Flavor
Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese into the filling.
Add a pinch of garlic powder or black pepper for extra savory goodness.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving.
Serving Suggestions
