Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use. Assemble and bake just before serving.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add diced cooked chicken or a splash of hot sauce for extra flavor. Use pepper jack cheese for more spice.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a party appetizer or snack with ranch or sour cream for dipping.
- Allergy-Friendly Options: Use dairy-free cheese and crescent rolls for a lactose-free version. Substitute turkey bacon or omit bacon entirely if desired.
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
