- all-purpose flour, for rolling out dough
- 1 tube (8-ounce) crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and leave a couple tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

- Chop bacon and asparagus into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Trim rind off of brie with a sharp knife and then cut brie into small square pieces, about 1-inch wide.

- Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Place a crescent square into each muffin cup then fill with brie, cooked bacon, and asparagus.
- Bake until the crescent dough is golden and the cheese is bubbling and melting over, about 15 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
