Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 4 mozzarella string cheeses, each cut in half
Equipment:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small mixing bowl
- Pastry brush
Preparation:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the crescent rolls bake to golden perfection.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the rolls from sticking and make for an easy cleanup.
3. Make Garlic Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well blended. This fragrant mixture will add amazing flavor to the rolls.
4. Prepare Crescent Rolls:
- Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface. Separate the dough into the pre-cut triangles.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each triangle with the garlic butter mixture, reserving a bit of the mixture for the final brushing later.
5. Add Cheese and Roll:
- Place half a string cheese at the wider end of each triangle.
- Carefully roll up the dough around the cheese, making sure it’s snug but not too tight. Place the rolls on the baking sheet, with the narrow end facing down to keep the rolls from unrolling during baking.
6. Final Brushing:
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining garlic butter mixture, which will add extra flavor and a golden sheen during baking.
7. Baking:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
8. Serving:
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve them warm as a savory snack or side dish.
Tips:
- Extra Flavor: Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese or more Italian seasoning on top of the rolls before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serving: These are best served warm while the cheese is still melty and the crust is golden and flaky.
