I don’t normally do recipes, but this one is one of those super easy ones that never fails to impress people, so I thought you wouldn’t mind me sharing this one.
I haven’t had a lot of time to do much cooking lately, but I dearly love to cook and have guests. So I was excited when I planned my first event at the house. Okay yes I did have my builder men friends over, but that meal was sausage, homemade biscuits, gravy, bacon, migas (scrambled eggs, onion, and tortillas) wassail, and cupcakes. This event was a little fancier. I had the Houston Blogger group over to my house. I served girly foods like brie and my fancy party cheese filled pastry.
Everyone is always impressed with this dish although it is super easy to make. Shhh.. let’s just keep it a secret between you and me about how easy it is to make.
BAKED CREAM CHEESE FILLED PASTRY
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill weed or 1/2 teaspoon dried whole dill weed
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 egg yolk, beaten
Garnish: fresh dill weed sprig
Unroll dough on a lightly floured surface; press seams together to form a rectangle.
Sprinkle and gently press minced dill weed onto top of cream cheese.
Place cream cheese, dill weed side down, in center of dough; bring up sides of dough snugly around cheese, pinching to seal. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg yolk.
Bake at 350o for 20 to 22 minutes. Garnish, if desired. Serve warm with crackers, jams, and/or salsas. Yield: 16 appetizer servings.
I just bought the dough that is exactly like the crescent rolls but doesn’t have the perforations in them and was wondering what should I make. We are having company tomorrow and this will be perfect. Thank you.
what a wonderful recipe! I think I will have to make this for my guests tomorrow! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Anita – I am a huge fan on Facebook and thought I would stop by your blog. I have just recently returned to Blog land after a long absence! I am so glad to be back with my blogging friends! Your blog is just beautiful… I hope you have a great weekend and hope to see you soon!
Thanks Jalon! Welcome back!! I appreciate your sweet comments so much.
I love to season things with dill. So, this is something I am going to have to make sometime in the future. It sounds very yummy.
Looks delicious and so simple! Two of my favorite things 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, Anita.

Super easy indeed, and I just happen to have all the ingredients on hand. I’d say this will me a Super Bowl treat.
Made this last night for my kids and company we had over and the first one was gone before I could get the second one in the oven! It was a total hit! I confess, I did make my own biscuit dough and one biscuit dough recipe with 2 cups flour base makes 2 of these lovely Cream Cheese En Croute thingies. Thank you Anita for sharing!! Happy New Year!!!
Thanks for sharing this. I love impressive recipes that are sooooo easy! i will make this for my next girlie luncheon. I enjoy your blog everyday.
