Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
Cheese Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. If using puff pastry, cut it into rectangles of similar size to accommodate the filling evenly.
- Brush Dough: Lightly brush each dough piece on the top side with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring an even coating for flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each dough piece to ensure a gooey, cheesy center.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each dough piece tightly toward the pointed end. Position each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them secure while baking.
- Final Brush: Brush the tops of the rollups with the remaining garlic butter mixture to add richness and promote golden browning.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with optional marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- These rollups make excellent appetizers, party snacks, or sides for soups and pasta dishes.
- For variety, add crumbled cooked bacon or chopped fresh spinach into the cheese filling before rolling.
- To achieve a crispier texture, bake the rollups slightly longer until they reach a deep golden brown.
- Make sure not to overfill the dough to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Serve immediately for the best melty texture, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
