Finally, I popped the baking sheet in the oven and set a timer for 12-15 minutes. During this time, my kitchen filled with that wonderful aroma of baking dough and melted cheese, which always makes me feel so cozy. When the timer went off, I could hardly wait to dig in. These baked crescent roll sandwiches were golden brown and absolutely irresistible!
Pro Tips for Best Results
In my early attempts at this recipe, I made a rookie mistake by overstuffing the rolls. I learned the hard way that less is more here! You want to have enough filling to create that satisfying bite without the risk of spills. Trust me; you’ll want to maintain those beautiful crescent shapes.
I’ve also experimented with the type of cheese used. I found that a mix of sharp cheddar and mozzarella gives a fantastic flavor and texture. The cheddar provides just the right kick, while the mozzarella keeps things gooey. So don’t skip on the cheese variety; it makes a world of difference!
Finally, for an extra crunch, consider sprinkling some seasonings like Italian herbs or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking. I tested this three different ways, and trust me, the added flavor elevation makes it worth the extra step!
Common Mistakes to Avoid

I thought I could go without it, and although they were still delicious, they didn’t have that appealing golden color. (See the next page below to continue…)
