Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz/226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless release.
- Dough Preparation: Unroll the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle with precision, creating a canvas for the cheesy rollups.
- Cheese Layering: Generously distribute mozzarella and Parmesan across each dough triangle, ensuring a comprehensive cheese coverage.
- Rolling Technique: Starting from the wide edge, tightly roll each triangle towards the pointed tip, securely encasing the cheese within the dough. Position the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Garlic Butter Creation: Merge melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a touch of salt into a harmonious, aromatic mixture.
- Butter Infusion: Lavishly brush each rollup with the garlic butter, ensuring complete flavor penetration and a glossy exterior.
- Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, allowing the rollups to transform into golden-brown delicacies with molten cheese centers.
- Final Touch: Apply a final layer of reserved garlic butter, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an additional Parmesan sprinkle for visual and flavor enhancement.
- Serving Recommendation: Serve immediately while piping hot, inviting guests to indulge in the irresistible blend of buttery, cheesy, and garlicky notes.
Notes
- Prevent Cheese Leakage: Pinch dough edges tightly to seal cheese inside, stopping potential melting and dripping during baking.
- Optimize Dough Handling: Work with cold crescent roll dough for easier rolling and more precise shaping, maintaining structural integrity.
- Control Butter Application: Brush garlic butter sparingly to avoid soggy bottoms, ensuring crisp and golden exterior while maintaining rich flavor profile.
- Customize Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different cheese combinations like sharp cheddar or provolone for unique taste variations while maintaining similar melting properties.
