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 a cheese stick half on the wide end of each triangle. Fold the sides of the dough up over the cheese, then roll up tightly toward the pointed tip. Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops of the rolls with more melted garlic herb butter. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Serve warm with the remaining garlic herb butter for dipping.

Recipe Tips

For extra golden tops, brush with an additional layer of melted butter halfway through baking.

If you prefer a crispier exterior, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella sticks or cheddar chunks.

FAQ

Can I use homemade crescent dough instead of store-bought?

Yes, you can use homemade crescent roll dough. Just ensure it’s rolled out into triangles of similar size and thickness for even baking.

How do I store leftover baked crescent rolls?

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore flakiness.

Can I freeze these before baking?

Absolutely! Assemble the rolls, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
