I just made this for breakfast. I substituted apricot jam for the cherries and sweetened the cream cheese a little. Mine did not spill out, but I made sure that when I folded the edges over they were pinched together on the sides and overlapping on the top. Hope this helps. I would definitely make this again.

Tasted good but filling spilled out of the side of the crescent dinner rolls. I like so many recipes but this one I won't be making again.

I have made this recipe with every conceivable kind of preserves. Last time, I used black cherry YUM! This doesn't necessarily have to be a sweet offering. I've also made it savory using ham & cheese down the center instead of the cream cheese and pesto instead of the preserves. Put cheese on top instead of the glaze. I'm going to make it with ham & cheese with salsa and another with ham, Italian meats, cheese & tomato sauce like an Italian stromboli. I can hardly wait.

Of all the recipes I've made with Crescents, this is by far the best! So easy and so yummy!
