Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons homemade garlic butter
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Unroll and Separate: Unroll the refrigerated crescent rolls and separate them into triangles along the perforated lines.
- Spread Garlic Butter: Spread a generous amount of homemade garlic butter on top of each crescent roll triangle, ensuring even coverage to infuse them with flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic butter-covered crescent roll triangles, distributing it evenly.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each crescent roll triangle, tucking the ends under to seal and form a crescent shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled crescent rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll to allow them to expand while baking.
- Brush with Butter: Melt the remaining garlic butter in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s easy to brush. Then, brush the melted garlic butter over the tops of each crescent roll, ensuring they are evenly coated for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up, creating a tantalizing aroma in your kitchen.
- Serve: Once done, remove the crescent rolls from the oven and serve immediately while warm, allowing everyone to enjoy the melty goodness of the cheese-filled crescent rolls.
