Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226.8 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Cheese:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Garlic Butter and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to temperature specified on crescent roll package and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Create a fragrant garlic butter by combining melted butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley in a mixing bowl.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Generously coat each dough triangle with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle a blend of cheeses evenly across the buttered dough triangles, distributing them from edge to edge.
- Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle into a crescent shape, carefully encasing the cheese within the dough.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each roll.
- Brush the tops of the crescents with the remaining garlic butter for extra flavor and golden color.
- Lightly season the rolls with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crescents turn a rich, golden brown and the cheese melts completely, following package baking instructions.
Notes
- Transform crescent rolls by adding a generous layer of garlic butter for extra flavor punch that elevates the basic dough.
- Customize cheese selection by mixing sharp cheddar with mozzarella or experimenting with parmesan for unique taste profiles.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by ensuring baking sheet is preheated and using parchment paper to create crisp, golden edges.
- Make gluten-free version by substituting regular crescent roll dough with gluten-free alternatives, maintaining the same delicious garlic-cheese combination.
