Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Assemble the rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the triangles from each other. Spread a thin layer of the butter mixture over each triangle, leaving a small border at the wide end. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese onto the center of each triangle.
- Roll them up: Starting at the wide end, tightly roll up each triangle into a crescent shape. Place the rolled-up crescents on the prepared baking sheet, pointed ends down.
- Brush with remaining butter mixture: If you have any leftover butter mixture, brush it gently over the tops of the rolls for extra flavor and golden browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a sprinkle of additional parsley for garnish if desired.
Notes
- For an extra cheesy version, you can add more shredded cheese or experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone.
- These rolls can also be frozen after assembling. Simply place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, let them thaw for 30 minutes before baking as directed.
