Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp garlic butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended and smooth.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles on a clean work surface.
- Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll each crescent triangle from the wide end to the point, ensuring the cheese mixture is fully enclosed and the dough is sealed.
- Melt the garlic butter and brush the top of each rolled crescent with the melted garlic butter, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the stuffed crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. The filling will be extremely hot, so allow them to rest briefly.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional garlic powder or chopped fresh parsley on top before serving for extra flavor.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for smooth, easy mixing.
- Don't overstuff the crescents - leave a small border to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Use a pastry brush for even garlic butter distribution to achieve that gorgeous golden-brown finish.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth on the hot cheese filling.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese blends like adding some mozzarella or pepper jack.
- If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
