01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon and onions together with the dry mustard and a pinch of nutmeg in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Let everything slowly caramelize, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and fragrant—this should take about 20 to 30 minutes. Once cooked, push the mixture to one side of the pan and tilt it so the grease pools at the bottom. Carefully pour off the grease and let the bacon and onion mix cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
While that’s cooling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, combine the cooled bacon mixture with the mozzarella, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir it all together until you get a thick, spreadable paste.

Step 3
Grab a can of crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Using a pizza cutter, slice each triangle into five thin strips by making three diagonal cuts, then cut the two longer strips in half to get the right size. Take about a teaspoon of the filling and wrap a strip of dough around it, stretching the dough a bit if needed. Don’t worry if some filling peeks out the bottom—it all tastes great. Stand the wrapped strips upright on a baking sheet and gently press the tops flat so they stay standing.

Step 4
Repeat with the rest of your dough and filling, then pop the tray into the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pastries turn golden and flaky. Let them cool just a bit before digging in!
