Step 5: Egg Wash for Golden Perfection
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Brush the egg wash lightly over the top of each crescent roll. This will give them a beautiful golden shine.
Step 6: Bake
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the crescent rolls cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
- These are best enjoyed warm, allowing the cream cheese to remain soft and creamy inside.
- Serve as a breakfast treat, snack, or even as an appetizer at parties.
Tips for Perfection
- Cheese Variations: Try adding mozzarella or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the crescents, cover them, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Mini Versions: Cut the triangles in half for bite-sized appetizers perfect for parties or game days.
- Add Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives on top adds color and flavor.
