# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:

03 - Combine mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses in a small bowl.
04 - Place approximately 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
05 - Roll each triangle from wide end to tip, enclosing the cheese filling completely.
06 - Place rollups on prepared baking sheet with tips tucked underneath to secure.
07 - Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt until well combined.
08 - Generously brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture.

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • The refrigerated dough shortcut means you can have these on the table in under 35 minutes, even on weeknights when motivation is low
  • That garlic butter blanket transforms ordinary crescent dough into something that tastes like it came from a bakery
02 -
  • If your rollups are browning too quickly before the cheese is fully melted, loosely tent them with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking
  • These reheat surprisingly well in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes, but the microwave will make them soggy—avoid at all costs
03 -
  • If you don't have fresh garlic, use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder but mix it into the cheese filling instead of the butter
  • A little pinch of red pepper flakes in the garlic butter adds incredible depth without making these spicy
