Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 package Pre-made crescent roll dough
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk while continually whisking to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Add the grated cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough sheets on a flat, clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as pre-scored.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture at the base (widest part) of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough upwards towards the tip, enclosing the cheese mixture.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and arrange them so they have about 1 inch of space between one another.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the rolls for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
