Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough and press seams together to create a single, even sheet to hold the fillings securely.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt to flavor the dough.
- Brush Dough: Brush half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough to infuse it with rich garlic flavor.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the buttered dough for a cheesy filling.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough lengthwise into a log, then slice into 8 equal pieces to form individual rollups.
- Arrange and Brush: Place the rolled pieces cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. These rollups pair perfectly with marinara, ranch, or garlic dipping sauces.
Notes
- Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- Add a slice of pepperoni or cooked spinach inside before rolling for added variety.
- These rollups make great party appetizers or a tasty side dish for pasta nights.
