Ingredients
Fresh Asparagus
1 lb (Trimmed to remove tough ends)
Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 (8 ounce) package (Unrolled and separated at seams)
Monterey Jack Cheese
1 cup (Grated)
Bacon Bits
1/4 cup (Ready to use)
Green Onion
1/4 cup (Finely chopped)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2
Prepare the asparagus by breaking off the tough ends, leaving just the tender tips. Steam the asparagus spears for 3 to 5 minutes until they are crisp-tender, then set aside to cool slightly.
3
Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into individual triangles. Place them on a clean, flat surface.
4
On each triangle, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Monterey Jack cheese, followed by a sprinkle of bacon bits and finely chopped green onions.
5
Place one steamed asparagus spear at the wide end of each triangle. Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the asparagus tightly to form a roll.
6
Arrange the asparagus rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them to allow for even baking.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
8
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your cheesy asparagus bacon rolls!
