Notes

Line your pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat—it’ll keep things from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Want an extra crispy top? Brush a little melted butter over the crescents before baking.
Get creative with the fillings! Swap out marinara for pesto or toss in some cooked chicken or pepperoni.
