Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups (Print)

Golden crescent dough rolled around melted cheese and brushed with aromatic garlic butter

# What You Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

→ Garlic Butter

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles along perforated lines.
03 - Combine shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and grated Parmesan in a small bowl until evenly blended.
04 - Place approximately 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll from wide end to pointed tip, sealing the filling inside.
05 - Place rollups on prepared baking sheet with the tip tucked underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
06 - Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and salt until thoroughly combined.
07 - Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
08 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until deep golden brown and cheese filling is visibly bubbling.
09 - Remove from oven and brush with additional garlic butter if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These come together in 35 minutes start to finish with ingredients you probably already have
  • The cheese filling stays perfectly melty while the outside gets irresistibly golden and crisp
02 -
  • Underbaking is better than overbaking since the dough continues cooking on the hot pan
  • Room temperature cheese melts more evenly than cold cheese straight from the fridge
03 -
  • Tuck the dough tip underneath firmly so cheese does not escape during baking
  • Use light pressure when rolling so the dough does not become too thin
