Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Seasoning:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated on the crescent roll package (approximately 375°F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for optimal non-stick performance.
- Create a fragrant garlic infusion by whisking melted butter with finely chopped garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley until the mixture becomes a harmonious blend of aromatic flavors.
- Carefully unfold the crescent dough onto a clean, flat surface. Gently separate each triangle along the perforated lines, ensuring clean and even edges.
- Distribute a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese across the wider portion of each dough triangle, creating a delectable cheesy foundation.
- Transform each triangle into a crescent by rolling from the broad base toward the pointed tip. Delicately tuck the edges inward to prevent cheese from escaping during baking.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet with the seam facing downward. Lavishly coat the exterior with the prepared garlic butter mixture, then enhance with a light dusting of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Monitor until the crescents achieve a golden-brown hue and the cheese melts into gooey perfection.
- Remove from the oven and allow a brief cooling period. Serve these aromatic, cheese-filled crescents as an irresistible side dish or standalone snack.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by mixing different varieties like fontina, gruyere, or goat cheese for unique flavor profiles.
- Prevent cheese leakage by ensuring edges are properly sealed and not overstuffed with cheese.
- Elevate gluten-free diets by substituting crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or homemade alternative.
- Enhance nutrition by adding finely chopped herbs like chives or incorporating nutritional yeast for extra protein and B-vitamins.
