Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough (store-bought)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chopped parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently separate the dough into individual triangles if they are not already pre-cut.
- Add the Cheese Filling: Place a generous spoonful of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese near the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the cheese and add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Roll and Shape: Carefully roll each triangle starting from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the cheese completely. Shape the rolled dough into a crescent and place the rolls evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
- Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the melted butter to help achieve a golden, glossy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm to enjoy the melted cheese center at its best.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a brighter flavor.
- You can substitute the cheese blend with your favorite cheeses such as pepper jack or gouda.
- Ensure the rolls are sealed well to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
