Ingredients

Scale

1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade dough)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

For serving (optional):

Marinara sauce
Garlic butter for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. If using homemade dough, roll it out into a rectangle and cut into even-sized triangles.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. This mixture will infuse the rollups with delicious garlicky flavor.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over each dough triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as the cheese will melt and expand during baking.

Step 5: Roll Up the Dough

Starting from the wider end of each triangle, gently roll the dough toward the pointed tip, tucking the cheese inside. Place each rollup on the prepared baking sheet with the tip side down to prevent unraveling.

Step 6: Brush with Garlic Butter

Using a pastry brush, coat each rollup with the garlic butter mixture. This will create a golden, flavorful crust while baking.

Step 7: Sprinkle with Parmesan and Parsley

Lightly sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley over the rollups. If you like a bit of heat, add a dash of red pepper flakes.

Step 8: Bake Until Golden Brown

Place the rollups in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. The cheese should be fully melted and slightly bubbling.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair them with marinara sauce or extra garlic butter for dipping. Enjoy while warm for the best gooey, cheesy experience!
