Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 count)
- 1 (5.2-ounce) box Boursin garlic & herb cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Separate dough into 16 triangles. Using a pizza cutter, cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 32 skinny triangles.
- Add a heaping ½ teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to the largest side of each triangle.
- Roll up each crescent roll, starting at the large side and rolling up towards the pointy end.
- Place each roll on the prepared sheet to make a tree shape starting with one roll at the top, adding a second row with 2 rolls, a third row with 3 rolls, and so forth until you have 7 rows. Use the remaining rolls to create a square trunk.
- Before baking, make an egg wash by whisking the egg and water and brushing over the rolls. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped, fresh parsley.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Make two smaller trees. Arrange each small tree as follows - use 1 dough roll for the trunk then rows of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 rolled ball on top.
- Prep ahead of time. Assemble the savory tree, cover it with plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking and serving warm.
- Store. Cover the whole tree with plastic wrap or pull it apart and place the rolls in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in if needed and reheat in a preheated 300°F oven for about 10 minutes.
