Notes
- I don't always have fresh garlic on hand but keep a tube of minced garlic for recipes like this.
- It helps to make sure your crescent dough is cold. Don't leave it out while preparing the filling. The colder the dough the easier it is to shape and slice.
- Don't have crescent rolls? Pizza dough works great here too!
- Make ahead tip: You can bake these and then freeze them until you need them. Just reheat them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Source: adaped from Taste of Home3.2.28853.2.2885
