I made this for brunch we were hosting for some friends. It was incredible. The most difficult part was not eating the crescent rolls while waiting for them to become a day old.
I also can’t say enough good things about the ‘authors’. If you have a question, send them a message on Instagram, they usually reply with in a day. They are so supportive of anyone trying their recipes.. this has quickly and easily become my number one go to site.
