🧾 Ingredients
For the dough (or use ready-made crescent dough):
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
3/4 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
For the filling:
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup cooked chicken or turkey (optional)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For topping:
1 egg (beaten)
Sesame seeds or herbs (optional)
🍳 Instructions
Prepare the dough
Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and butter. Knead until smooth. Let it rise for 1 hour.
Make the filling
In a bowl, combine cheese, cream cheese, chicken (if using), and seasoning. Mix well.
Shape the crescents
Roll out the dough into a circle and cut into triangles (like pizza slices). Add a spoon of filling at the wide end, then roll toward the tip to form crescents.
Brush and rest
Place on a baking tray, brush with egg, and sprinkle seeds or herbs. Let rest for 10–15 minutes.
Bake
Bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
🧑🍳 Methods & Tips
Use store-bought dough if you want a faster version.
Don’t overfill—this helps prevent leaking.
For extra crispiness, bake on parchment paper.
You can make them ahead and reheat before serving.
