I loved these! They were easy and quick to make. I took them to a party, and everyone commented on how good they were. I couldn't find the crescent roll sheets, so I had to use the regular rolls. I cut it into 8 popovers. I didn't have any garlic salt, so I used some roasted garlic in oil that came in a jar. I can't wait to make them again for the next party I go to!

Made these today and they were a huge hit. Even made them with turkey pepperoni. I thought they were very flavorful and moist. Will definitely make again.

These are cute little popovers. Tasty, but they need a little moisture. Dipping them in some warm marinara with a bit of hot sauce seems to be just the remedy. Fun to dip and nibble!
