Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Can I Store Leftovers Of This Thanksgiving Crescent Ring?
This will depend entirely on how long your leftovers had been stored before you made this Crescent Ring Recipe. If you made it the day after Thanksgiving I’d recommend enjoying them for up to 2 days.
I’d suggest tossing the Crescent leftovers if this was the last day of using up those turkey day leftovers!
Can I Add Cheese To The Crescent Ring?
Yes, I’d suggest using white cheddar, American, Swiss, or Provolone.
Do I Need To Warm Up The Leftovers Individually Before Using Them In This Recipe?
Nope! Since the ring gets baked in the oven it allows for plenty of time for the leftovers to warm up! Double heating them could cause the crescent sandwich to turn out dry.
