Ingredients
For the Rollups:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Garlic Butter:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Garnish (Optional):
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Assemble the Rollups: Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese onto each triangle.
- Roll Each Triangle: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up to the tip, enclosing the cheese inside, and place them seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter over each rollup, reserving some for garnish after baking if desired.
- Bake: Bake the rollups for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese over the warm rollups before serving.
Notes
- Use your favorite melty cheese in place of mozzarella, such as cheddar or provolone.
- Make sure to brush the garlic butter generously for the best flavor and a crispy, golden exterior.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add an extra clove of minced garlic to the butter mixture.
- To make these ahead, assemble the rollups and brush with garlic butter, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Serve warm for the best cheesy pull-apart texture.
