My readers voted that I add my own spin to the Pillsbury Crescent Bacon and Cheese Tarlets. I thought for a long time what I could do to change it up and still leave the bacon and cheese in the recipe.
The original recipe is very much like a quiche and all I could think of is, "What do I like with bacon and cheese?"
I love a good turkey club sandwich with bacon, so this is what I came up with:
1 T. butter, melted
1 T. chopped onion
1 t. dijon mustard
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. cooked, chopped bacon
1/2 c. cooked, chopped turkey
1 pkg. Pillsbury Crescent rolls, rolled out into a 9"x12" rectangle and cut into 3" squares.
Since not everyone has a 'tartlet' pan, I opted to make these into 'bundles.'
I mixed everything up, put a Tablespoon of the mixture in the middle of the crescent dough square, and folded each corner up to the middle.
Put the bundles on a baking sheet, baked them in a 375ยบ oven for 12-15 minutes.
The result?
Really rich. We had forgotten how buttery these crescent rolls could be.
My boys said they were good appetizers, but they wouldn't want it for a meal.
As for me, I thought they could use a little less mustard. Perhaps a different type of cheese. Good, but not WOW ~
What would you do?
They look good Frieda! The truth be told, I have already tried one recipe idea I had with my crescent rolls, and burned them into a real mess.
