Why do you soften the cream cheese before baking?
It’s really just a simple way to have the crescent roll dessert bake up quicker and easier. When the cream cheese is softened, it melts faster than if it were hard or frozen.
Can you put parchment paper in the oven?
Yep, it’s one of the reasons that it’s my handy tool in the kitchen. Not only does it keep my food items from sticking but it makes clean up a total breeze, too.
