Oh my goodness, cheesy garlic crescent rolls are seriously one of my all-time favorite snacks! They’re the perfect combination of buttery goodness and gooey cheese, with that irresistible hint of garlic that just makes my taste buds dance. I whip these up whenever I need a quick and easy appetizer for friends or family gatherings, and let me tell you, they never last long! It’s so satisfying to watch everyone’s faces light up as they bite into that warm, cheesy center. Plus, they’re super simple to make, so I can focus on enjoying the company instead of stressing in the kitchen!
Ingredients List
- 1 can of crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (fresh is best for that punchy flavor!)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (for a touch of color and a hint of herbiness)
How to Prepare Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls
Preheat the Oven and Prepare Dough
First things first, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Trust me, this is crucial for getting that perfect golden brown on your rolls! While the oven is warming up, grab your can of crescent roll dough and unroll it carefully. You’ll see those lovely triangles just waiting to be filled with cheesy goodness. Separate the dough into those triangles and lay them out on your work surface. It’s like setting the stage for a delicious show!
Make the Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine that shredded mozzarella cheese with the minced garlic and dried parsley. Give it a good stir until everything is nicely mixed. The aroma from the garlic will start to fill your kitchen, and I promise, it’s heavenly! If you want to add a little extra kick, this is the perfect moment to toss in some Italian seasoning. But honestly, even on its own, this mixture is pure magic!
Assemble the Rolls
Now comes the fun part—assembling those rolls! Take a spoonful of your cheesy mixture and place it on the wide end of each dough triangle. Don’t skimp here; you want those rolls to be stuffed! Then, starting from the wide end, roll the dough up towards the point. Tuck the point underneath so they don’t unravel while baking. Place each rolled crescent on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Can you picture the cheesy goodness waiting to be baked?
Brush and Bake
Next, grab your melted butter and brush it generously over the top of each roll. This will help them brown beautifully and add that extra buttery flavor we all love. Pop these bad boys in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and irresistible. Keep an eye on them because you don’t want to miss that moment when they puff up and turn into golden pillows of cheesy delight!
Serve Warm
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for just a minute before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, so gather your friends or family and dig in! These cheesy garlic crescent rolls are fantastic on their own, but if you want to elevate your serving game, try pairing them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. It adds a nice touch of acidity that balances out the richness. Yum!

Tips for Success
- Use fresh garlic: Trust me, using fresh minced garlic makes all the difference! It brings a pungent, vibrant flavor that dried garlic just can’t match.
- Experiment with cheese: While I love mozzarella, feel free to mix it up! Try sharp cheddar, creamy gouda, or even pepper jack for a little kick. The possibilities are endless!
- Don’t overfill: It’s tempting to stuff those rolls to the brim, but be careful! Too much filling can make them hard to roll and might cause them to burst open while baking.
- Keep an eye on baking time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your rolls around the 12-minute mark. You want them golden brown and puffed, but you don’t want to overbake them!
- Make ahead: If you’re prepping for a gathering, you can assemble the rolls ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready, and you’ll have warm, gooey rolls in no time!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Alright, let’s talk about how to store those delicious cheesy garlic crescent rolls once you’ve gobbled up a few (or, let’s be real, maybe a whole bunch!). To keep them fresh, just pop any leftovers into an airtight container. They’ll hang out in your fridge for about 3–4 days—if they last that long!
When it’s time to enjoy them again, you’re going to want to reheat them for that warm, gooey goodness. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rolls on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5–7 minutes until they’re warmed through and the cheese is all melty again. You can also microwave them for a quick fix—just a few seconds should do the trick, but be careful not to overdo it! I find that reheating in the oven keeps them nice and crispy, which is always a plus. Enjoy your cheesy goodness all over again!
