Do we need to spray the dish with non-stick? Before placing the first layer of crescent dough? Thanks
That is a great question. Answer would be no. The reason is the croissant dough has enough butter in it to take care of casserole dish from sticking. Hope you enjoy the dish.
This is such a good point I’m going to add this to the printable recipe card. Thanks
