Garlic Butter Cheesy Crescent Rolls - amazing crescent rolls loaded with Mozzarella cheese and topped with garlic herb butter. Easy recipe that takes 20 mins!!
Ever since I learned how to make garlic herb cheese bombs, my son is hooked on them for his snack.
I love it that he likes to eat cheese, at least I know he is getting good nutrition from cheese.
The problem is that he is starting to get bored with the cheese bombs and asked for something else to bring to his school.
So I made these garlic butter cheesy crescent rolls and he loved them.
In fact, he said that he loves these crescent rolls better than cheese bombs now.
I have to agree, I think they are indeed better with the flakier dough.
Yummy!
I learned the recipe from The Comfort of Cooking, but changed things up and simplify the recipe.
I am all about easy and simple recipes…after all, we are mostly busy moms who have to take care of a zillion family things and chores every single day.
I am fine with instant dough; not everything has to be made from scratch.
I used Pillsbury original crescent rolls for the recipe.
You basically just roll out the dough, and then tuck the mozzarella cheese stick onto it.
Fold on both sides and roll to form a croissant shape.
Brush the top with some garlic herb butter, shove them into the oven, and you’ll have the most amazing cheesy crescent rolls.
The key is to eat these babies when they are fresh off the oven because the melted mozzarella cheese comes oozing out like a lava, and straight into your mouth.
Oh so good!!
My son asked for three after his school and finished all of them.
The next morning, he ate another two for his breakfast and packed two for his school snack.
This recipe is easy peasy and even I don’t mind having them.
How To Make Garlic Butter Cheesy Crescent Rolls
Alright, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
Melt the butter and mix in the garlic and parsley. Give it a good stir until everything’s well combined.
Okay, unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles. Take a piece of string cheese and place it at the bottom of each triangle, then fold in the sides and roll it up like a croissant. Once they’re all rolled up, brush the tops with that garlic herb butter you made earlier.
Pop them in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Once they’re done, take them out and serve them right away!

Can these be put together and then refrigerated to cook later?
I think it’s best to bake immediately.
This was fantastic! While family enjoyed and now I know to make a double recipe! Delicious!
That’s awesome, so happy that your family enjoyed the crescent rolls. :)
Has anyone tried this using Colby-Jack cheese sticks instead? I happen to already have those on hand… either way looks yummy and I’ll be making some version of these tonight. Thanks in advance for any advice!
What’s the temp of the oven?!?!!!
see recipe – preheat oven to 375 degrees.
I love cheesy bready, and this is making me hungry again tonight! Great easy recipe!
I made these the other night and they were amazing. I agree with everyone else, I could eat the whole batch. Delicious! If you have kids, they would love them. Love them!
Hi Alma, thanks for trying my garlic butter cheesy crescent rolls recipe. Yes kids love them.
Lovely recipe… It’s just that a doc of mine once told me to benefit from the nutritional value of cheese, it needs to be eaten in its uncooked form. Heat changes its chemical composition and also its nutritional value. So cooked cheese isn’t exactly healthy. At least that’s what the doc said. Just thought id share it. Thanks for recipe :)
Thanks for the information Priya!
I am betting that his school chums are not too crazy about him eating them though, lol.
Hi, I’m from Selangor,Malaysia can I know where can I get the Pillsbury crescent roll dough?
Not available in Malaysia I think. :(
This looks super easy to Veganize! Pilsbury crescents are already vegan, looks like I found lunch!
