These mini baked brie crescent rolls are super simple and so delicious! They are perfect for the holidays and gatherings. Everyone I’ve served them to loves them!

I serve these brie stuffed crescent rolls as appetizers and in my bread basket as a side for holiday meals. They are quick to make and versatile, so if you don’t have brie cheese, substitute it with whatever you love!

Store-bought crescent dough (like from Pillsbury) makes these easy, but any brand or homemade pizza dough works well! If you love brie, I highly recommend our brie stuffed bread rolls or this brie with hot honey!

How to Make Baked Brie Roll Ups

These crescent rolls really could not get any easier. Place a big piece of brie onto the long end of a crescent dough triangle, tuck in the sides, and roll up. Then brush the tops with egg wash so they turn shiny and golden brown after baking. I also add a pecan half and some sea salt to the top before baking. I love the way it looks.

The rolls take about 15 minutes to bake and are perfect for parties or as a side dish. A little brie might escape during baking, but the rolls will still taste amazing. See our holiday recipes or appetizer recipes for more recipes like this one.

We use store-bought crescent dough for these easy mini baked brie rolls. Brie is excellent, but most cheeses will work as a substitute. Adding more fillings, such as diced olives, ham, or jam, is also great.

Makes 8 Rolls

You Will Need

1 (8oz) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

6 ounces brie cheese

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

8 pecan halves

Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles and then slice the brie into 8 pieces.

3Place one piece of brie onto the wider end of a dough triangle. Fold in the sides, then roll the dough into a tight packet, making sure the ends are closed so the cheese won’t come out during baking. Repeat with remaining dough triangles and place the rolls onto the baking sheet.

4Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to lightly brush the tops with egg wash. Press one pecan half onto the top and sprinkle with salt.

5Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

If you grew up in Utah, chicken pillows were practically a weeknight tradition. Creamy chicken wrapped in warm crescent dough is the kind of cozy comfort kids love and adults secretly crave.

Chicken Pillow Ingredients

• Crescent Rolls: Refrigerated dough makes this recipe easy! I also like to use crescent dough sheets. Simply cut the sheet of dough into 8 even squares before putting them together.
• Chicken: Canned or rotisserie chicken is a great alternative!
• Bread Crumbs: Plain or panko bread crumbs can be used. Add flavor with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning if you use either of these options!

• Milk: Add a splash of milk for a thinner gravy, if preferred.

How to Make Chicken Pillows

This chicken pillows recipe is my go to when I haven’t planned dinner. I keep crescent rolls on hand because this is my girls’ favorite recipe. And, there’s almost always some cooked chicken in the fridge or freezer.

Chicken Pillows

1. Prep and Chicken Filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray 2 sheet pans with non stick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, add shredded chicken, cream cheese, green onion, and garlic powder.
2. Combine & Open: Stir chicken mixture well until well combined. Next, open crescent rolls and separate the triangles.
3. Fill Pillows: Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of the crescent roll.
4. Seal Pillows: Fold the sides of the dough over the chicken mixture, then roll the crescent roll. Pinch the dough around the chicken mixture to fully seal it. Repeat the method until done.
5. Coat Pillows: Melt butter in a microwaveable bowl for about 40 seconds. Pour Italian bread crumbs on a plate for easy dipping! Dip the top of each chicken pillow in the bowl of melted butter, followed by the Italian bread crumbs.
6. Bake: Place the coated chicken pillows on the prepared pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken pillows are golden brown.

Chicken Gravy

1. In a small pan, add cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream. Heat and stir over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired thickness. Serve the gravy on the side or pour it over the warm chicken pillows and enjoy!
