Description

Delicious, gooey Crescent Rolls with a cheesy filling of cheddar and mozzarella, enhanced with garlic powder and fresh herbs. These easy-to-make rolls are perfect for a quick appetizer or snack, baked to golden perfection with a buttery finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 package store-bought Crescent Roll Dough

Cheese Filling

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chopped parsley or chives)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and help the rolls bake evenly.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently separate the dough into triangles if it is not pre-cut.
  3. Add the Cheese Filling: Spoon a generous amount of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese near the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle garlic powder and the chopped fresh herbs over the cheese for added flavor.
  4. Roll and Shape: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle toward the pointed end, enclosing the cheese inside. Shape each roll into a crescent and place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
  5. Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of each crescent roll with melted butter to encourage a golden, glossy crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to set. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese inside at its best.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes with the herbs.
  • You can substitute the fresh herbs with dried Italian seasoning if fresh herbs are not available.
  • These crescent rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for freshness.
  • Use refrigerated crescent dough for convenience; homemade dough can be used but will alter prep time.
