How to Make Crescent Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent roll dough

- 1/2 cup of vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms, chopped)

- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 egg (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- In a bowl, mix the cheese, cooked meat, vegetables, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place a spoonful of the filling at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll the dough starting from the wide end toward the tip. Make sure to seal the edges to keep the filling inside.
- If desired, whisk the egg and brush it over the rolled crescent dough for a golden finish.
- Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
How to Serve Crescent Roll Ups
Crescent Roll Ups are best served warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli. You could also serve them alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
How to Store Crescent Roll Ups
To store leftover Crescent Roll Ups, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
Tips to Make Crescent Roll Ups
- Ensure the filling is not too wet, as this can make the dough soggy.
- Experiment with different types of cheese and meat to find your favorite combination.
- Brush the rolled crescents with the egg wash for an extra crispy and golden crust.
Variation
You can easily change up the filling to suit your taste. Try using cooked sausage or beans for a vegetarian option, or swap out the vegetables for different flavors. The possibilities are endless!
