Introduction
Brie Crescent Rolls are an easy and elegant appetizer perfect for any gathering. With creamy brie wrapped in flaky crescent dough, they offer a deliciously simple treat that looks impressive but requires minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent dough
- 1 wheel of brie cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Step 2: Cut the brie cheese into small wedges, about one per dough triangle.
- Step 3: Place one wedge of brie at the wide end of each dough triangle and then roll up the dough, wrapping the brie inside.
- Step 4: Place the wrapped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
- Step 5: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the brie is melted inside.

Tips & Variations
- For added flavor, try spreading a little fig jam or honey on the dough before adding the brie.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme on top before baking.
- Use mini brie wheels instead of cutting a large wheel if you want perfectly portioned rolls.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5–7 minutes to bring back the pastry’s crispness and soften the cheese.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent dough (usually 8 oz or about 8 rolls)
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into small wedges
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready when the rolls are assembled.
- Prepare Brie: Cut the brie cheese into small wedges, about 1-inch pieces, that fit easily into the crescent dough rolls.

- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider brushing the rolls with egg wash before baking to achieve a shiny golden crust.
- Optional toppings such as a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of honey complement the brie well.
- Ensure the brie is well sealed within the dough to prevent leakage during baking.
- Serve warm for the best creamy texture.
