Ingredients You'll Need

8 cheddar cheese sticks (cut in half lengthwise)
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ Tbsp Dijon mustard

Optional Toppings:

Sesame seeds
Poppy seeds
Fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Unroll both tubes of crescent dough onto a clean surface. Press the perforated edges together gently to form two large rectangles. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to divide each rectangle into 8 even strips (for a total of 16 strips).

Pro Tip: If the dough feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to make handling easier.
