Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or non-stick baking mat
- A small bowl for mixing
- Pastry brush
- Measuring spoons
- Grater (for cheese)
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. - In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.
Stir until well combined. - Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
On the wide end of each triangle, sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling towards the point.
Put the rolled-up crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure that the point of the dough is tucked under so that they don’t unroll as they bake.
- Use a pastry brush to generously brush the garlic butter over the top of each crescent roll.
If you want to, you can add color and flavor by sprinkling chopped parsley on top. - Put the crescent rolls in the oven that has already been heated and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool a little before serving.
These rolls are best served warm, while the cheese is still gooey and the garlic butter is fragrant.
