Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 8 slices Cooked bacon
- 1 can Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tbsp Chives (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, garlic powder, and chopped chives (if using) until smooth and creamy.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
Spread about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each crescent triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place one slice of cooked bacon on top of the cream cheese in each triangle.
Starting from the wide end of the triangle, roll the crescent dough toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling completely. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the croissants from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor.
