Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 half sticks Pepper-Jack cheese (from a block or string cheese)
- 1 8-oz can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Dried chives (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, then chop or crumble them into small pieces.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Prepare the Cheese: Cut the pepper-jack cheese into pieces about half the size of a standard cheese stick. If using string cheese, simply halve each piece.
- Assemble Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and, on the wide end of each dough triangle, place approximately one tablespoon of crumbled bacon followed by a piece of pepper-jack cheese. Carefully roll up each triangle, sealing the edges well to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Optionally, sprinkle dried chives on top for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Enjoy warm by themselves or with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch or marinara.
Notes
- For best results, ensure bacon is fully crisp before adding to dough to prevent sogginess.
- Seal edges tightly to keep the cheese inside during baking.
- Try using different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for a variation in flavor.
- These crescent rolls can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge before baking.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best cheesy, melty experience.
