Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface.
- Separate Triangles: Separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated lines for easier filling and rolling.
- Mix Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder until well combined.
- Brush Dough: Brush a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture over the top of each dough triangle to add flavor and moisture.
- Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each buttered dough triangle.
- Add Parmesan: Top the mozzarella with a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese to enhance the cheesy flavor.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wider end, roll each dough triangle toward the point to form crescent shapes.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Brush Tops: Lightly brush the tops of the crescent rolls with any remaining garlic butter mixture for extra flavor and browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Chop Parsley: While baking, finely chop the fresh parsley to prepare for garnishing.
- Remove and Garnish: Take the rolls out of the oven once golden and fully cooked, then sprinkle chopped parsley over the warm rolls to add freshness.
- Serve: Serve the cheesy garlic crescent rolls immediately while warm to enjoy their melty, buttery goodness.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the dough triangles to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and bright garnish.
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or provolone if preferred.
- If you want a stronger garlic flavor, add a bit of minced fresh garlic to the butter mixture.
- These crescent rolls are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
