Nifty Things to Do With Crescent Rolls

I had two tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls. I had at least a cup full of cinnamon/brown sugar mix left over from the last time that I made cinnamon rolls. I had a living room full of hungry eyes staring at me. I had a brilliant idea.

Why it has never occurred to me to stick stuff in crescent rolls before, I can't tell you. But it only makes sense that stuffing them with some delicious filling, makes for a delicious snack and can make for an impressive spread. They bake perfectly every time and so they make a no fail treat! Here are a few ideas for breakfast fillings:

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls:

1 cup of brown sugar

1 to 2 tablespoons of cinnamon (taste as you go, 2 tablespoons may well be too much for you)

melted butter or margarine

Lay each crescent roll flat, spread melted butter over crescent roll, and spread with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Roll up into a crescent and bake according to package directions.

Cheese Danish

1 3oz. package of cream cheese

1/4 cup of sugar

Optional: add small pieces of fruit

Mix the ingredients together well. If you're using fruit, you may want to blend the mixture. Lay the crescent rolls onto a cookie sheet. Give each crescent roll a dollop of cream cheese mixture, roll and bake according to package directions. (Note: Be careful not to fill them too full or else the dough will remain soggy.)

Omelet 'O Crescent

2-3 eggs

1 - 2 slices of bacon

cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook bacon and crumble. Scramble eggs, seasoning as desired. Mix together in a bowl, cheese, bacon and eggs.

For this recipe, keep two crescent rolls together to form a rectangle. Fill crescent roll and 'fold' half of the crescent over, making a pocket. Bake according to package directions.

Those sound yummy! You can also try putting the crescents into muffin tins and fillin them--try brie cheese topped with some walnuts and cinnamon and bake.

And you can make some nifty little pigs in a blanket with them, too. For a pretty ppetizer, try cutting the hot dogs into 8 pieces each (lengthwise then lengthwise again then in half horizontally Roll out he crescents and cut them into strips to fit the hot dogs(the hot dogs can peek out the sides a bit). Roll up the hot dogs, then brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake.
