Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- optional: marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheeses and seasonings are evenly incorporated.
Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Take one triangle and place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of the wider end. Roll the dough over the cheese, starting from the wide end and working towards the point. Pinch all seams tightly closed to ensure no cheese leaks during baking. Shape the roll into a round ball and set it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese mixture.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops and sides of each crescent round with the egg wash. This will help them turn golden brown during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rounds are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
