Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups

Golden crescent rolls hugging a layer of gooey cheese and slathered in garlicky butter make a crowd-pleasing side or snack. Picture soft bread, melty cheese, and rich garlic with every bite. I always let the dough sit out to warm up. It's way easier to handle this way and doesn't rip.

My kids get into rolling these up, and we sometimes sneak in a little marinara before the cheese. It's like having mini pizza pockets.

Fun Ways to Serve

Toss next to a big bowl of pasta or put out with ranch or marinara for dunking. They're also winners for watching the game.

Tasty Twists

Switch it up with pesto, pepperoni, or mix up the cheeses. Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning before popping in the oven.

Keeping 'Em Fresh

Pop extras in a sealed container for up to two days. Re-crisp in a hot oven or air fryer for best bites. After heaps of tries, I've found slightly overlapping dough as you roll keeps that cheesy filling locked in tight.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can I use different cheese?

Sure, go for any cheese that melts well. Cheddar, a mix, or whatever you like will work.

→ How do I store leftovers?

Pop leftovers in a sealed box and keep them in the fridge for two or three days. Give 'em a quick reheat in the oven for five minutes at 350.

→ Can I make these ahead?

Yep, get them ready a day early if you want. Keep the raw ones in the fridge, brush with butter and bake later.

→ Why is my cheese leaking?

Pinch the dough edges shut tight and don’t heap the cheese inside. That’ll keep everything tucked in.

They go well with ranch dip, marinara, or just add them to your nibbles tray.
