Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 sheets Refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cloves Additional garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup Mild cheddar cheese (shredded) – for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or follow the instructions provided on the crescent roll packaging to ensure accurate baking temperature.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese. Mix until well incorporated to create the cheesy garlic filling.
- Shape Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the crescent roll sheets and cut each sheet into equal triangular segments as indicated on the packaging, preparing for filling.
- Fill and Roll: Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and garlic mixture at the wider end of each triangle. Roll up each triangle tightly, starting from the filled end, to create the crescent-shaped bites.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the rolled crescent bites evenly spaced on top, ensuring they have room to expand during baking.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: In a separate bowl, combine 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter with 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Brush Topping: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each rolled crescent bite, coating the surface to enhance flavor and browning.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the prepared crescent bites for a melty, cheesy finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the croissants for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure crescent roll dough is handled gently to prevent tearing.
- Use mild cheddar for a creamy melt; for more sharpness, substitute with sharp cheddar.
- The garlic butter mixture can be adjusted in quantity for stronger or milder garlic flavor.
- Serve warm to enjoy the best texture and melty cheese experience.
- These snacks can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up before serving again.
