- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough:
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
- Fill and Roll:
- Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll the dough tightly, starting from the wide end and tucking in the filling as you roll toward the tip.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
- Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Add Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder.
- Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter.
- Bake:
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the rolls from the oven and sprinkle with additional fresh parsley.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Keep Dough Cold: Cold dough is easier to handle and less likely to tear.
- Seal Tightly: Pinch the seams of the dough to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Customizations: Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or mix in cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
