Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh blueberries
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
Egg Wash:
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) to ensure optimal baking conditions for the delicate pastry rolls.
- Blend cream cheese and sugar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency, creating a luscious filling that will complement the crescent dough.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture across each crescent roll triangle, ensuring even coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Generously scatter fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer, distributing them evenly to guarantee a burst of fruity sweetness in each roll.
- Gently roll up the triangles, tucking in the edges to prevent the filling from escaping during baking, forming neat, compact pastry parcels.
- Delicately brush the exterior of each roll with beaten egg, which will create a glossy, golden-brown finish when baked.
- Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven, allowing them to transform for 10-12 minutes until they develop a rich, appetizing color and the pastry becomes perfectly crisp.
Notes
- Swap crescent rolls for homemade dough or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Experiment with different berries like raspberries or strawberries for unique flavor variations.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduce sugar for a lighter, healthier version of the rolls.
- Sprinkle some cinnamon or vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture for extra depth of flavor.
