Ingredients
-
8 (12×4-inch) sheets of foil
-
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
-
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
-
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
16 small sprigs fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Unroll the crescent rolls or dough sheet onto a work surface. If using crescent rolls, pinch the perforations together to form a rectangle.
-
Cut the dough into 8 triangles (if using a dough sheet, cut it into 8 equal rectangles).
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped parsley, chives, lemon peel, and salt until smooth and well combined.
-
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
-
Roll up the crescent rolls, starting from the wide end, and shape them into a “carrot” shape by curving the tips.
-
Place each stuffed crescent roll on a foil sheet, twisting the ends of the foil to secure them into carrot shapes.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
-
Garnish each roll with a small sprig of fresh parsley to resemble carrot tops.
Notes
-
Add garlic powder or minced fresh garlic to the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
-
Mix in shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan for a richer filling.
-
Consider adding chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or herbs like thyme or basil for a unique twist.
-
Use gluten-free crescent rolls or dough sheets to make this recipe gluten-free.
