Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves: 6-8 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15-20 minutes)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (for garnish)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
How to Make Golden Cheesy Bacon Rolls
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough or puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, press the seams together to form a single sheet.
3. Add the Bacon and Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the crumbled bacon.
4. Roll and Slice
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long edge. Slice into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife.
5. Brush with Butter and Seasoning
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and parsley. If using egg wash, brush the tops with a lightly beaten egg for extra golden color.
6. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with a side of ranch, honey mustard, or marinara sauce!
My Best Tips for Perfect Cheesy Bacon Rolls
- Use high-quality cheese – Sharp cheddar, Gouda, or Monterey Jack add the best flavor.
- Try different meats – Swap bacon for sausage, ham, or turkey for variety.
- Make them extra crispy – Use puff pastry instead of crescent dough for a crunchier texture.
- Add a little spice – A pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes adds a nice kick.
What to Serve with Cheesy Bacon Rolls
