Sweet Crescent Rolls (Can be Savory)

Recipe sent in by: D. Archer
Inspired by a TV show I was watching. It's easy and affordable, with tons of ways to switch up the flavors!

- Pre-made Crescent Rolls (from the refrigerated section)
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 C Water
- 1/2 C Preserves (any flavor)
- 3 T Sugar
- Sliced Almonds (or nuts of your choice)* optional

1) Preheat oven according to directions on crescent rolls.
2) Mix egg and water for egg wash, set aside.
3) In small sauce pan warm preserves slightly to thin a little. *Note: combining different preserves can be a nice way to control the flavors you like, an example would be: Strawberry and orange.
4) Unroll the crescents, spoon about a tablespoon of preserves onto center of 1 triangle of the dough, then spread out.
5) Roll up the dough (instructions on the package), then turn the edges in to form a crescent.
6) Once all the rolls are formed and on the baking sheet, brush tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with small amount of sugar and top with almonds or nuts of your choice.
7) Bake according to package times.

Optional addition or alternative to filling:
- 1 Pkg (8 oz) Cream Cheese
- Confectioners' Sugar (to taste)
Blend to taste. Follow steps 4-7 for filling and baking.

Savory Option:
- Chives (to sprinkle over the top)
- 1 pkg Goat Cheese
- Roasted Red Peppers (Usually found in a jar)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Chop up roasted peppers small (as much or little as you like), mix with goat cheese, add salt and pepper to taste. Follow steps 4-7 for filling and baking. Substitute chives for sugar and nuts for topping.

A nice chocolate filling and drizzle is also good for this!
