Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly across each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Crumble or cut the pre-cooked bacon into small pieces and sprinkle them over the Nutella-covered dough.
- Starting from the wide end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, ensuring the Nutella and bacon are enclosed inside.
- Gently curve the rolled crescents into a traditional crescent shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and create an egg wash by beating it until smooth.
- Brush the top of each crescent roll with the egg wash to create a golden, shiny finish when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory combination of Nutella and bacon.
Tips
- Use room temperature Nutella for easier spreading and more even distribution across the dough.
- Pre-cook your bacon until it's crispy to ensure maximum flavor and crunch.
- Don't overfill the crescents - leave a small border to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- For extra shine and golden color, apply the egg wash carefully and evenly.
- Let the crescents cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set.
- Use a fine-mesh sieve for the most elegant and even powdered sugar dusting.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor combination.
- For a gourmet touch, consider using high-quality chocolate-hazelnut spread.
