My sister-in-law made this for a quick lunch and I immediately asked for the recipe. It uses just 4 ingredients and tastes incredible.

Unroll crescent dough. If using triangles, press seams together to form a rectangle.
Cut 1-inch strips along both long sides (leave 3–4 inches uncut in center).
Spoon filling down the center.
Fold strips over filling alternately left and right, like a braid. Pinch ends to seal.

4. Bake to Perfection

Brush with egg wash (for shine—optional).
Bake 20–25 minutes, until deep golden brown.
Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving Suggestions

🧀 Extra touch: Serve with honey mustard or béchamel dipping sauce
