- 1 tablespoon water

- In a small bowl, mix the pulled pork and BBQ sauce together.

- Starting at the wide end, roll the crescent up and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Brush the egg mixture over the top of each crescent.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought pulled pork instead of making your own. Look for pre-cooked, shredded pork in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
- You can use any type of BBQ sauce you prefer, whether it’s sweet, smoky, or spicy.
- For added flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onions over the top of the crescents before serving.Here are a few more details and ideas to help you make the most of this recipe:
- If you don’t have parchment paper, you can lightly grease your baking sheet or use a silicone baking mat instead.
- Be sure to use a baking sheet with a rim, as the crescents may leak a little bit of BBQ sauce as they cook.
- If you have any leftover pork mixture, you can use it as a topping for baked potatoes or nachos, or you can save it for another batch of crescents later in the week.
- To make these crescents even more filling, try adding a few slices of cooked bacon or a handful of diced cooked ham to the pork mixture.
- If you’re serving these at a party or potluck, you can easily double or triple the recipe to make more crescents.
