Expert Recipe Tips and Variations
Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning: This is easy to make and stores well in an airtight container up to 3 months. Here are the ingredients:
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (adjust to taste)
Meat Tips and Substitutes: Choose a high-quality deli meat for optimal satisfaction! Personally, I prefer Boar's Head Seasoned Filet of Roast Beef sliced at the deli counter. If you have leftover roast beef or prefer to make your beef from scratch, slice or chop it in easy-to-eat pieces. You can also make these with leftover sliced prime rib.
Cheese Options: Besides pepper jack cheese sticks, you can also use sticks or slices of American cheese, havarti, mozzarella, Swiss cheese, gouda, fontina, cheddar cheese, gruyere, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack or provolone cheese.
Crescent Roll Dough: Keep the crescent roll tubes in the fridge until you’re ready to use them to avoid them from sticking together. If you prefer a homemade touch, you can make your own crescent roll dough.
