Blueberry Crescent Rolls

Easy-to-make blueberry crescent rolls look as impressive as they taste. Blueberry pie filling wrapped up in flaky refrigerator crescent roll dough then topped with a sweet lemon glaze. The perfect crescent roll recipe that's perfect for breakfast.

What I love most about this crescent roll dessert is how easily you could serve them for a holiday breakfast or brunch. Everyone loves something sweet after a breakfast celebration!

Blueberry crescent rolls also make a great option for an on-the-go fast breakfast. Prepare them at the beginning of the week and easily reheat all week long...if they last more than a day!

This recipe pairs well with homemade vanilla ice cream if you're serving it as an easy dessert.

• Refrigerator Crescent Rolls
• Blueberry Pie Filling
• Powdered Sugar - for the glaze
• Lemon Juice - of course fresh is always best, but I didn't have fresh lemons in the house and used bottled and it still tasted delicious.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | Prep the Rolls

• Open the crescent roll can and separate the rolls into triangles.
• Lay them flat on a piece of parchment paper while you open the can of blueberry pie filling.
• Add a heaping tablespoon on top of each crescent roll triangle. Spread the mixture on top being careful not to go too close to the edge of the crescent rolls.

Step 2 | How to Roll Up Crescent Rolls

• Beginning at the larger end, start rolling up the crescent rolls.
• Try your best to pinch and tuck the ends together so the blueberry filling doesn't seep out while baking.
• A little should be okay like I have here.
• Place the crescent rolls on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.

Step 3 | Brush with Egg White

• Place the crescent rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Brush each crescent roll with the egg white.
• This will help give the rolls a nice shiny look.

Step 4 | How Long to Bake Crescent Rolls

• Bake in a 375°F degree preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Set them aside for a few minutes to cool while you prepare the glaze.

Step 5 | Add the Glaze

• Combine the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Drizzle on top of the slightly cooled crescent rolls.
