Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using store-bought croissant dough, carefully unroll the sheet and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations. If using homemade dough, roll it out into a large rectangle and divide it into 8 triangles.
In a medium bowl, mix the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses until evenly combined.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture at the base (widest part) of each dough triangle.
Starting from the base, roll each triangle up towards the tip to form a crescent shape. Ensure the cheese is enclosed within the dough to prevent spillage during baking.
Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the egg wash over the surface of each croissant for a golden, glossy crust.
If desired, melt the butter and brush it lightly over the croissants for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the croissants cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the flaky, cheesy indulgence!
