I followed the recipe except that I added the entire package of onion soup mix, glad I did too. It was good but I think that it could have gone with two packages of soup mix and maybe one more egg plus a little extra salt and pepper. Over all it is an easy recipe to follow though I think that if I get a chance to try this again I will use puff pastry instead of the crescent rolls. I had to bake it an extra 20 minutes to get it done but that was a little too long. It looks to me like ~55 minutes of cook time would do. The one thing I would like to try is to get a mushroom puree into it the same as the traditional wellington by Gordon Ramsey. Having had that before I feel it would give the dish that little extra to make it an outstanding dish. Just the same it is a good dish, my wife even liked it. It will server 6 without a problem for two people it means a lot of tasty leftovers.
