CHEESY BACON CRESCENTS

Pillsbury Crescents can be a lifesaver when you need a quick appetizer or bread to go along with a meal. However variations on the traditional crescent can certainly take them up a notch or twelve! These rolls are so easy to make and they’re done, start to finish, in less than 20 minutes!

Cheesy Bacon Crescents
adapted from Kraft Foods

• 1-can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• 2 sliced crisp bacon, crumbled {about 1 TBSP bacon crumbles}
• 4 oz cream cheese {half a block}
• 3 TBSP shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp parsley

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.

Set aside 1 TBSP of Parmesan cheese.

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, bacon crumbles, 2 TBSP Parmesan, onion powder and parsley.

Lay out the crescent rolls and make sure the perforated edges are cut. Put about 1 TBSP cream cheese mixture into the center of the largest end of crescent. Fold the end over the cream cheese and continue rolling as you would normally. Tuck the edges into the center to create the crescent shape. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the rolls.

Space the rolls out on the baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes.

Serve warm. ENJOY!
