Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Dough
- 3 crescent roll sheets
Butter and Herb Mixture
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Cheese Filling
- 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your savory creation.
- Prepare Herb Butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic until well combined.
- Assemble Crescent Rolls: Lay the 3 crescent roll sheets out flat. Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the crescent dough sheets.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered dough layers, reserving 1 cup for topping.
- Roll Up and Layer: Roll the crescent dough sheets tightly to encase the cheese and butter mixture, then place them in a baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare Topping Mixture: Combine the melted butter with 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of chives, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Top the Rolls: Brush the melted butter mixture generously over the top of the crescent roll assembly and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the savory bake to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar for a richer flavor.
- For added texture, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes in the butter mixture.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara for extra taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
