Ingredients
Scale
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks, cut in half
- 1 (8-count) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp parsley (fresh or dried)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring an even surface for optimal baking.
- Garlic Butter Mixture: Combine melted butter with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, creating a fragrant and flavorful coating for the crescent rolls.
- Dough Assembly: Carefully unroll the crescent dough, separating into triangles. Position a mozzarella piece at the wide end of each triangle, then roll tightly while gently tucking sides to prevent cheese from escaping during baking.
- Seasoning and Topping: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, generously brushing each with the prepared garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for an additional layer of savory flavor.
- Baking and Finishing: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until they transform into golden-brown, crispy delights. Allow a brief cooling period before serving, accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping and enhancing the overall taste experience.
Notes
- Carefully tuck the sides of crescent rolls while rolling to seal mozzarella inside and minimize melting out during baking.
- Use a silicone brush for even garlic butter coating, ensuring each roll gets maximum flavor and golden-brown crispiness.
- Allow ingredients like butter and cheese to reach room temperature before preparing, which helps create smoother mixing and more consistent baking results.
- Substitute regular mozzarella with dairy-free cheese and use plant-based butter for a vegan-friendly version without compromising taste and texture.
