   • In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of pepper seasoning until well combined. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Dough:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Unroll the refrigerated crescent rolls, but do not separate them at the perforations. Instead, keep them as intact rectangles.
   • Gently pat each of the 8 pieces of dough to ensure they are as square as possible.

3. Assemble the Boreks:

   • Using a knife, cut each piece of dough in half to create 16 smaller rectangles.
   • Place about 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture down the center of each piece of dough.

4. Roll and Seal:

   • Roll each piece of dough around the filling, similar to rolling a jelly roll, to enclose the filling completely.
   • Seal the edges by crimping them firmly with the tines of a fork to prevent any leakage during baking.

5. Bake:

   • Place the assembled boreks seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the boreks are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

6. Serve:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the boreks from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
   • These Easy Cheese Boreks are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. Serve them as a delightful appetizer, snack, or light lunch option alongside your favorite dipping sauce or as they are!
