Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls are a quick, savory addition to any meal. Buttery garlic and melted cheese make these rolls irresistible as a side, appetizer, or snack. Using store-bought crescent dough, they come together in minutes for an easy, crowd-pleasing bite.
Equipment:
- 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 variation)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare the dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Fill with cheese: Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella (or your chosen cheese) near the wide end of each triangle. Roll from the wide end toward the point and tuck the tip underneath to secure.
- Brush with garlic butter: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each one with the garlic butter using a pastry brush.
- Add Parmesan and bake: If you like, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the tops for extra flavor. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Finish and serve: Remove rolls from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Tips:
- Cheese options: Try mozzarella, cheddar, or an Italian cheese blend for different tastes.
- Extra flavor: Stir a pinch of red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning into the garlic butter for spice or herbs.
- Make ahead: Assemble the rolls and refrigerate for a few hours before baking to save time on serving day.
These Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls bring a buttery, garlicky crust and a gooey cheese center that disappear fast. Serve them beside pasta, soup, or enjoy them on their own as a satisfying snack.
