Whether served as a side dish, appetizer, or snack, they’re sure to impress. Plus, with store-bought crescent dough, they come together in minutes!
Equipment You’ll Need:
- Baking sheet
- Small bowl
- Pastry brush
- Cheese grater
Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a variation)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Roll Out the Dough
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
4. Add the Cheese
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella near the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly, starting from the wide end, and tuck the point underneath.
5. Brush with Garlic Butter
Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each roll with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.
6. Top with Parmesan and Bake
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the rolls for extra flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color, and serve warm.
Pro Tips:
- Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or an Italian cheese blend to mix up the flavor.
- Extra Kick: Add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to the garlic butter for a spicy or herby touch.
- Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the crescent rolls ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
