Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 pound roast beef, sliced
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, mix beef broth with garlic powder and onion powder to create a seasoned dipping sauce. Set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles on a clean work surface.
- Place thin slices of roast beef on each crescent triangle, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the roast beef on each triangle.
- Carefully roll up each crescent triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the beef and cheese filling.
- Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and create an egg wash by whisking thoroughly.
- Brush the top of each crescent puff with the egg wash to create a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm with the prepared seasoned beef broth on the side for dipping.
Tips
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality roast beef from the deli counter to ensure maximum flavor.
- Make sure your crescent roll dough is chilled but not too cold, which helps with easier handling and rolling.
- Don't overfill the crescents to prevent leaking during baking.
- Use a pastry brush for an even egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Let the puffs cool slightly before serving to prevent burning and allow the cheese to set.
- Prepare the dipping sauce in advance and keep it warm for the best serving experience.
- These puffs can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking, making them perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
