Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls are a quick and irresistible snack or side dish that combines flaky crescent dough with gooey cheese and savory garlic butter. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 oz (115 g) mozzarella cheese, cut into small sticks (or shredded)
- 3 tbsp (45 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
- Add the Cheese:
- Place a piece of mozzarella (or about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese) at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the narrow tip, enclosing the cheese.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the Rolls:
- Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Top with Parmesan:
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve warm, with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Tips:
- For extra cheesiness, add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella on top before baking.
- To make them spicy, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- These rolls are best served fresh out of the oven, but you can reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
Enjoy your cheesy, garlicky crescent rolls!
