Description
These Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient French Dip Crescent Pockets are flaky, cheesy, and filled with savory halal roast beef. Baked until golden and served with warm au jus dipping sauce, they make a quick and comforting meal, snack, or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 8 slices halal roast beef deli meat
- 4 slices provolone cheese, cut in half
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the au jus gravy mix according to package instructions and keep warm.
- Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
- Place one half-slice of provolone cheese onto each crescent triangle.
- Add one slice of halal roast beef on top of the cheese.
- Roll each crescent triangle from the wide end toward the tip, enclosing the filling completely.
- Place the crescent pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or parsley if desired.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Allow the pockets to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with au jus dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Thinly sliced halal roast beef works best for easy rolling.
- Swiss, mozzarella, or white cheddar can replace provolone cheese.
- Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Air fry at 350°F for 8–10 minutes if preferred.
- Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Freeze baked or unbaked pockets for up to 2 months.
- Serve with gravy, garlic butter, or extra au jus for dipping.
