Ingredients

1 lb. green beans, trimmed
1 (8-oz.) tube refrigerated Crescent dough
1 (9.5-oz.) wheel brie, cut into small squares
2 tbsp. melted butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the green beans until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
Step 2: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. On each triangle, place a small square of brie and a small bunch of green beans. Fold the tip of the dough triangle over the beans and press gently to seal.
Step 3: Brush each bundle with melted butter and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the dough is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary before baking.
Use goat cheese instead of brie for a tangier taste.
Serve with a honey mustard dipping sauce for a sweet and savory combination.

Storage

Store any leftover bundles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to keep the dough crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows several golden brown crescent rolls on a white marbled surface, each wrapped around a small bunch of bright green cooked green beans. Inside each crescent roll, there is a layer of melted white cheese that peeks out slightly, adding a creamy texture to the crispy roll. The green beans are tightly bundled and visible from the open ends of the crescent rolls. The tops of the rolls are sprinkled with coarse salt and black pepper, giving them a speckled look. The overall arrangement of the crescent rolls forms a scattered pattern across the surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?

Fresh green beans work best for their crunch and color, but if using frozen, thaw and pat them dry before assembling to avoid soggy dough.

Can I prepare these bundles ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the bundles and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

1 lb. green beans, trimmed

Dough & Cheese

1 (8-oz.) tube refrigerated Crescent dough
1 (9.5-oz.) wheel brie, cut into small squares

Seasoning & Others

2 tbsp. melted butter
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Green Beans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the trimmed green beans until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove the green beans with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and preserve their vibrant color. Drain well.
Assemble the Bundles: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. On each triangle, place a small square of brie cheese followed by a small bunch of the cooled green beans. Fold the pointed tip of the crescent dough triangle over the green beans and press gently to seal the bundle.
Season and Bake: Brush each wrapped bundle generously with melted butter, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. Bake the bundles in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and the dough is baked through, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Trimming the green beans evenly ensures consistent cooking.
Chilling the beans in ice water after boiling preserves their crispness and color.
Use a mild brie for a creamy texture without overpowering flavor.
Brush with butter to enhance browning and add richness.
Serve warm for best texture and taste.
Can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
