Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut each string cheese stick in half crosswise to create 8 shorter sticks. Place the garlic herb butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 30-45 seconds.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  4. Brush each triangle lightly with some of the melted garlic herb butter. Place one cheese stick half on the wide end of each triangle. Fold the sides of the dough up over the cheese, then roll it up toward the point. Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more garlic herb butter.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve warm with the remaining garlic herb butter for dipping.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking.

If you don’t have garlic herb butter, mix softened butter with minced garlic and dried herbs like parsley or oregano.

These rolls are best served fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute string cheese with mozzarella sticks, cheddar strips or any cheese that melts well. Just cut them into similar-sized pieces.

How do I store leftover crescent rolls?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore crispness.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can assemble the rolls up to a day ahead, cover and refrigerate. Bake just before serving, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time if needed.
