Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can King Oscar mackerel
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the King Oscar mackerel can and carefully drain excess oil. Using a fork, gently flake the mackerel into small, even pieces.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Distribute the flaked mackerel evenly across the center of each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the mackerel, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully roll each crescent triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the mackerel and cheese filling.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and create an egg wash by whisking thoroughly.
- Brush the top of each rolled crescent with the egg wash, which will help create a golden, glossy finish.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the prepared crescents for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot, so allow slight cooling for safe consumption.
Tips
- Ensure your mackerel is well-drained to prevent soggy crescents
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier rolling and better texture
- Don't overfill the crescents – leave a small border to prevent leaking
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or red pepper flakes
- Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect browning
- Let the rolls cool slightly to prevent burning your mouth and allow the cheese to set
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture
