Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Cheese
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any melty cheese you adore)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles for rolling.
- Add Cheese Filling: Sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese onto the wide end of each triangle, distributing evenly for a cheesy center.
- Roll Up Dough: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, sealing the edges by placing them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt to create a flavorful garlic butter brush.
- Brush Rollups: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of each rollup to infuse them with buttery and garlicky flavor.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Finish and Garnish: After baking, brush any remaining garlic butter over the hot rollups, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese for a fresh and savory finish.
- Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly before serving warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses such as cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Make sure to brush the rollups generously with garlic butter before and after baking for maximum flavor.
- These rollups are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
