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 over the cheese, then roll up tightly toward the pointed tip. 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 3 tablespoons softened butter with 1 minced garlic clove and 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like parsley or oregano).

Make sure the crescent rolls are cold when you roll them up; if they get too warm, they may become sticky and difficult to handle.

FAQ

Can I use regular crescent roll dough instead of Grands!?

Yes, but the bake time may be shorter. Check for golden brown color after about 8 minutes.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can assemble the rolls up to a day ahead and refrigerate them unbaked. Bake just before serving, adding a minute or two to the bake time.

What can I use instead of string cheese?

Mozzarella sticks or any firm, meltable cheese cut into sticks works well. Cheddar or provolone are great options.
