Ingredients
Rollups
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any melty cheese you adore)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rollups bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles, arranging them on your workspace ready to be filled.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle each triangle with 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for a rich, melty interior.
- Roll dough: Roll each triangle starting from the wide end towards the tip, then place them seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Make garlic butter: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Brush this mixture generously over each rollup to infuse them with flavor.
- Bake: Bake the rollups for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling deliciously.
- Finish topping: After baking, brush any remaining garlic butter over the rollups and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese for added aroma and taste.
- Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly before serving warm so the cheese settles and the rollups are safe to eat.
Notes
- Feel free to use any melty cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or gouda.
- Make sure to brush the garlic butter generously for maximum flavor.
- These rollups are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- To make this gluten-free, substitute crescent roll dough with a gluten-free pastry dough.
