Cheesy garlic crescent rolls are an easy, flavorful treat that’s perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. These golden rolls are filled with gooey cheese and infused with garlic butter, making them a hit at any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 pieces) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley (or Italian seasoning). Brush each triangle lightly with the garlic butter mixture, reserving some for later.
Place a small amount of shredded cheese (about 1-2 tablespoons) at the wider end of each triangle. Roll up the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the cheese. Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, point side down.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining garlic butter. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These cheesy garlic crescent rolls are perfect served warm alongside pasta dishes, soups, or salads. They also make a delicious snack or appetizer on their own.
Tips for Success
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses like provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack for variety.
- For an extra garlicky kick, add a pinch of garlic powder to the butter mixture.
