I have several "rolls" of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls that I have to use up so I started looking on a couple of websites. I found one that was a good base and is quick. (Well, I found several but I'm posting this one.) Easy to make this vegetarian, too, by eliminating the bacon and adding some type of hardy vegetable that you roasted and cut up in lieu of the bacon. Or roasted red bell peppers that you've dried off a bit on a paper towel before using.  Of course, around here, bacon is King! Some roasted garlic mixed in with the cream cheese would be a nice touch too, with or without bacon.

It's easy to think of different fillings you could make for these things. You could add some seasoning too like thyme, oregano or basil, depending on what else you used in your filling. Lots of reviewers said they just rolled out the dough into a rectangle and then cut 16 triangles out of the rectangle -- said they wound up a bit bigger. Others rolled out the dough, spread all of the filling on top, rolled it up and sliced into 1-inch pieces placed on their side like a pinwheel on the baking sheet. And of course, you could use the crescent dough that now comes uncut in sheets. I have some of that on hand, too.
