Crescent roll dough is incredibly versatile and you won’t even be able to taste that specific taste everyone talks about with store-bought dough.  Instead, you’ll adore every salty bacon piece along with fresh maple syrup and caramelized brown sugar.

I’ll be skipping the overnight french toast casserole this year for Christmas and I’ll be making this easy Maple Bacon Crack.

If you’d like to skip the pecan pieces in this recipe, swap it out with more bacon. I mean, who doesn’t love bacon? I always have pecans stocked in the pantry and these nuts are a delicious addition to this breakfast pastry.

    1. Yes, you can make Maple Bacon Crack ahead of time and freeze it for later use.
      Here’s how you can do it:

      Prepare the Maple Bacon Crack following the instructions in the recipe up until the baking step.
      Instead of baking it, let the assembled pastry cool completely.
      Once cooled, cut the pastry into pieces or leave it whole, depending on your preference.
      Wrap the individual pieces or the whole pastry tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
      Place the wrapped Maple Bacon Crack in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag for additional protection.
      Label the container with the date and contents for easy identification.
      Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

      To serve the frozen Maple Bacon Crack:

      Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
      Remove the frozen pastry from the freezer and unwrap it.
      If the pastry was cut into pieces, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
      If the pastry was left whole, you can still place it on a baking sheet.
      Bake the frozen Maple Bacon Crack in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until it’s heated through and slightly crispy.
      Allow it to cool for a few minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
      Keep in mind that freezing and reheating may slightly alter the texture, but it should still be delicious!
