Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Sure! Just assemble them and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 hours. For the best flavor and texture, serve them fresh from the oven when they’re hot and cheesy.
→ What type of cheese should I use?
Mozzarella works amazingly for that gooey melt, but feel free to try other melting cheeses like cheddar or even a mix!
→ Is it possible to add extra fillings?
Of course! Cooked bacon, pepperoni, a sprinkle of herbs, or even some Italian seasoning would be great inside.
→ Why do my rolls come undone while baking?
Make sure the tip of each roll is tucked securely underneath on the pan. This keeps them together as they bake.
→ How should I store leftover rolls?
Pop them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the oven or microwave to bring back that melted cheese goodness.

Category: Weekend Projects

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 8 Servings (8 crescent rolls)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 cup of mozzarella, shredded
02 1 can of crescent roll dough (8 ounces), refrigerated

→ Garlic Butter Mix

03 2 garlic cloves, chopped really fine
04 2 tablespoons butter, softened and melted
05 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 01

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out a piece of parchment on your baking tray to stop sticking.

Step 02

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Stir till it's well blended and smells amazing.

Step 03

Open up the crescent roll tube and break it into 8 triangular pieces. Add a heap of shredded mozzarella to the wide side of each triangle.

Step 04

Starting with the cheese-filled end, roll each triangle toward the skinny tip. Fold the tip piece underneath so it stays put while cooking.

Step 05

Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over every roll. Sprinkle parsley if you want to make 'em fancy!

Step 06

Put the rolls in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they've turned golden and the cheese oozes and bubbles. Let 'em cool for a couple of minutes before munching.

Notes

  1. These are best eaten fresh out of the oven while the cheese pulls apart.
  2. You can assemble them ahead of time and bake when you're ready.
  3. Switch up the cheese—cheddar or provolone work great too!
