How to Make Bacon Cream Cheese Crescents
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (50g) chopped cooked bacon (or ham), and 1 tablespoon of milk or cream. Mix until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Separate one (16.3 ounce) can of refrigerated crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
- Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create 16 smaller triangles.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto each dough triangle.
- Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end, rolling towards the point.
- Place the crescents point-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
