Notes or Tips
For a spicy kick, consider using hot breakfast sausage or a spicier version of Rotel tomatoes. You can also experiment with different types of shredded cheese, like pepper jack, for an extra layer of flavor. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes if needed!
Cooking Techniques
When rolling the crescent dough, ensure you seal the edges tightly to prevent any filling from escaping during baking. This will help you achieve the perfect golden crust while keeping all the savory goodness inside. Mixing the filling thoroughly will ensure each bite is equally rich and flavorful.
