Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Unroll dough on work surface; separate into 8 triangles. Cut 3/4-inch triangle from tip of each crescent triangle.
  • Step 
    2
    Unwrap cheese rounds, and place one on top of each crescent; wrap dough around cheese. Firmly pinch sides of dough so cheese is covered, pressing edges and seams of dough to seal completely.

    3
    Turn pumpkins over, and place on cookie sheet. Roll up smaller pieces of dough, and pinch each to form the pumpkin stems. Press onto top of each pumpkin to adhere.

    4
    Generously brush entire pumpkin with beaten egg. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
