INGREDIENTS:
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls - 4
4 oz Smoked salmon
½ - 1 oz Goat Cheese
8 - 10 Fresh chives* cut up into tiny pieces
*You could try dried chives - I haven’t used them for this specific recipe but could be an option if fresh are not available
KITCHEN ESSENTIALS FOR THIS RECIPE:
Baking sheet
Foil
Toaster Oven
Fork
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
PRE-COOKING PREP DIRECTIONS:
Open Pillsbury Crescent can - for some reason, this is always the hardest part for me
Open the packet of smoked salmon
Open the goat cheese and place ½ of it into a small bowl to help break it up with a fork, will make it easier to spread
I place a piece of foil on my toaster oven baking pan so it’s a quick clean up
NOW FOR THE FUN PART - COOKING!
Preheat toaster oven (or oven) to 175°
Unroll the crescent rolls and lay out the 4 rolls onto your cutting board about an inch apart - they will almost look like pizza slices (see pic)
Place slices of the smoked salmon onto the dough, I tried to cover the entire sheet so it took a few quick cuts of the smoked salmon slices but trust me it'll be worth it
Add crumbles of the goat cheese onto the salmon, I would ensure that the widest part of the roll have a more substantial amount of cheese and then add as much as you like on the remainder
Sprinkle on the chives over the entire section - including as much as you like, in my opinion chives do not have an overpowering taste especially when cooked so do not worry about over adding too much
Once you have your ‘pizza slices’ ready, start to roll them fro the widest to the tip - some of the cheese, salmon, etc may fall out - it’s ok
Transfer to your foil covered baking sheet
Bake on 175° for 17 - 20 min, depending on your toaster oven - I set an alarm for 16min and check to see how they look
You will know they are done when the dough has puffed up, and is a nice darker golden brown color (see pic)
