Recipe Variations

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Separate the crescent rolls into individual triangles by unrolling them.
Step 2: Coat each triangle with the homemade garlic butter.
Step 3: Next, generously sprinkle each triangle with mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: To finish, starting from the wide end, roll up the crescent rolls and neatly tuck the ends underneath to seal them.
Step 5: Microwave the remaining garlic butter for a few seconds until melted. Then, brush the melted garlic butter onto the top of each crescent roll.
Baking Instructions
Step 6: 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.

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.
