Easter Bunny Crescent Bites are a quick, easy, and adorable appetizer perfect for spring celebrations. These flaky, buttery crescent bites are filled with creamy cheese and savory ham or turkey, then shaped like festive bunnies to delight family and guests. Customizable, family-friendly, and ideal as finger food, they bring a playful yet delicious touch to your Easter table.

Ingredients

Dough and Base

  • Crescent roll dough – 1 package (8 oz)

Fillings

  • Cream cheese or cheddar – about 4 oz, sliced or spreadable
  • Ham or turkey slices – 4 to 6 slices, cut into small pieces

Finishing and Decoration

  • Egg wash (1 beaten egg)
  • Black sesame seeds or edible food markers – sufficient quantity for eyes and nose decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and gently press the perforations to seal into a single sheet, creating a smooth base for your bunny shapes.
  2. Cut and Shape the Bunnies: Using a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut the dough into bunny shapes or traditional triangles. For bunny ears, fold or trim small triangles on one end.
  3. Add the Filling: Place a small amount of cheese and a piece of ham or turkey in the center of each dough piece, being careful not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Seal and Brush with Egg Wash: Fold the dough over the filling and gently pinch the edges to seal completely. Lightly brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
  5. Add Bunny Faces: Use black sesame seeds or food-safe edible markers to create eyes and noses on each bunny for a festive look, adding decorations after egg wash to avoid smearing.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Do not overfill to avoid spills and keep perfect shapes.
  • Use chilled dough for easier handling and better bunny ear shaping.
  • Seal edges firmly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • Apply egg wash gently to avoid pooling on the dough surface.
  • Add decorative eyes and noses after egg wash to prevent smearing during baking.
