Description
Cheesesteak Croissants are a flaky, handheld twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak—featuring tender beef, melted cheese, and sautéed onions wrapped in golden crescent roll dough. Ideal for lunch, dinner, or parties.
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or deli roast beef)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 4 slices provolone, mozzarella, or American cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté onions and optional bell pepper until soft and golden.
- Add sliced beef to the skillet and cook until warmed through and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles or rectangles.
- Place a slice of cheese and a spoonful of the beef mixture on each piece of dough.
- Roll or fold each piece, sealing the edges. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush tops with beaten egg if using.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor or heat.
- Use different cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for variation.
- Mini versions work great for party appetizers.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
