Ingredients
- 2 cans of crescent rolls (or biscuits)
- Cheese (your choice of type)
- 12oz or 16oz package of bacon, cooked
- Flour for dusting (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly flour your work surface.
- Unroll one can of crescent rolls (or 1/2 can of biscuits) on your work surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press the seams together and lightly press & stretch into a rectangle.
- Add a layer of cheese, followed by a layer of bacon.
- Unroll the remaining can of crescent rolls on top and press all the seams together on top and all around.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice into squares.
- Place the squares on a baking sheet so they are touching.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top of the crescent rolls are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 3-5 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Ensure bacon is fully cooked before adding it to the biscuits to avoid excess grease.
- Pressing the seams of the crescent rolls together well will help keep the cheese and bacon inside.
Additional Tips or Variations
- Try using different types of cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a unique flavor.
- Add herbs or spices such as chives or garlic powder to the cheese layer for extra flavor.
