Pillsbury Crescent Rolls with Cheese are coated with homemade garlic butter "twice."
To start, I spread garlic butter over the surface of the crescent rolls, then fill them with mozzarella cheese, roll them up, and finally, brush them with more garlic butter just before baking. Doesn't that sound delicious?
This recipe is the perfect side dish to homemade soup or pasta with homemade tomato sauce with meatballs.

Recipe Variations
Pepperoni - add sliced pepperoni to the crescent rolls before rolling them up.
Cheese Sticks - use half a cheese stick in each crescent roll.
Italian Sausage- add crumbled, cooked Itlalian sausage to the crescent rolls also before rolling up.
For this recipe, I use my Homemade Garlic Butter, however, you can use a store brand also.
Step-by-Step Instructions
This section includes step-by-step photos and instructions to guide you through the recipe. For the complete printable version, scroll down to the recipe card below.
Step 1: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Brush each triangle with the homemade garlic butter, sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese, then starting at the wide end, roll up each crescent and tuck the ends underneath to seal.
Step 2: Microwave the remaining garlic butter for a few seconds until melted. Then, brush the melted garlic butter onto the top of each crescent roll.
Step 3: Place in a preheated 375°F oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown. Serve promptly while still warm for the best taste.
Storage Tips
Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheating: You can easily reheat any leftovers in the microwave.
Freezer: These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing; which is really okay, because I guarantee you will not have any leftovers.

Can I get gluten free crescent??
Lois says
I'm not really sure if Pillsbury sells a gluten free crescent roll. I believe you can purchase a mix to make them on your own.
