👩🍳 How to Make a Cordon Bleu Crescent Ring
This dish looks fancy—but it’s surprisingly easy.
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the Crescent Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and arrange the triangles in a circle on your baking sheet:
- Wide ends overlapping in the center
- Points facing outward like a sun shape
This creates the base for your ring.
3. Add the Filling
In a bowl, mix:
- Chicken
- Ham
- Cheese
Spoon the mixture evenly around the inner ring of dough.
4. Fold and Shape
Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling and tuck them underneath the center.
It should form a neat, sealed ring.
5. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Make the Creamy Sauce (Optional)
While baking, melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in milk, then add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook until smooth and slightly thickened.
7. Serve Warm
Slice the ring and drizzle or serve with the creamy sauce on the side.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Crescent Ring
- Don’t overfill
Too much filling can make it hard to seal. - Use pre-cooked chicken
Saves time and keeps things easy. - Seal the edges well
Prevents cheese from leaking out. - Let it cool slightly before slicing
Helps it hold its shape.
