Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This simple step prevents sticking and makes your cleanup effortless.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto your prepared pan. Pinch the perforated seams together tightly so the melted cheese does not leak out during baking.
  3. Melt your butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and kosher salt until it smells incredibly fragrant.
  4. Brush half of the rich garlic butter evenly over the flattened dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan evenly across the surface right to the edges.
  5. Starting from the longest side, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the final seam down firmly to lock all that gooey filling inside.
  6. Grab a sharp serrated knife to cut the log into 1-inch slices. Use a light sawing motion so you do not squish the delicate dough base.
  7. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet leaving a bit of room to expand. Brush the tops generously with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Pull them out when the edges look crisp and the cheese is bubbling like lava.
  9. Let the pan sit on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before touching. Serve them while warm and enjoy the ultimate savory comfort food.

Notes

Tip: Keep the dough in the fridge until the exact moment you need it so it stays firm and easy to handle. Shred your own mozzarella directly from a block for the best melt and stretch. Avoid overfilling, loose rolling, and using a dull knife for the best structural integrity.
