We use store-bought crescent dough for these easy mini baked brie rolls. Brie is excellent, but most cheeses will work as a substitute. Adding more fillings, such as diced olives, ham, or jam, is also great.
1 (8oz) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
6 ounces brie cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
8 pecan halves
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top
1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles and then slice the brie into 8 pieces.
3Place one piece of brie onto the wider end of a dough triangle. Fold in the sides, then roll the dough into a tight packet, making sure the ends are closed so the cheese won’t come out during baking. Repeat with remaining dough triangles and place the rolls onto the baking sheet.
4Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to lightly brush the tops with egg wash. Press one pecan half onto the top and sprinkle with salt.
5Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
