Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings:
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F, preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Gently unfurl the crescent roll dough and carefully separate each triangle on a clean work surface.
- Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, creating a rich and flavorful cheese blend.
- Distribute a generous spoonful of the prepared cheese mixture onto the center of each crescent triangle.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, ensuring the cheese mixture is securely enclosed within the dough.
- Arrange the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper heat circulation.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crescents transform into a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a brief moment before serving these warm, cheese-filled delicacies to eager guests.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, easier mixing and spreading inside the crescent rolls.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like mozzarella, pepper jack, or goat cheese for unique flavor profiles.
- Sprinkle extra herbs or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for added crunch and visual appeal.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream cheese and use reduced-fat crescent roll dough to decrease overall calories.
