Silly- Simple Cheese and Garlic Filled Crescents

Recipe #100908 | 20 min | 7 min prep | add private note

By: Vino Girl

These are so simple it's silly, but my husband loves them so much I thought I'd post this. I like them, too! I've tried making these a few different ways, but I believe good old processed American cheese singles works the best for this - it's clean and easy to measure and roll up, and it melts perfectly during the allotted baking time. You can skip the cooking spray and foil if you want and just bake these directly on the baking sheet, but I like to do it this way because it makes clean up easier, and any leftovers can be stored and reheated right in the foil.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375F; line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with butter flavored cooking spray.
  2. 2
    Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles; sprinkle each with garlic powder.
  3. 3
    Cut or divide each cheese slice into quarters to make 8 small squares of cheese.
  4. 4
    Cut or fold one piece of cheese in half; stack the halves on top of each other and place them on the bottom end (the flat side directly opposite the side with the thinnest point) of one crescent triangle; roll triangle up starting with this end.
  5. 5
    Fold the two side points of the dough towards the center of the dough so that all three triangle points are on the same side; place roll on the sheet with the points facing down.
  6. 6
    Repeat for each dough triangle and bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden.

mmmm, yummy! I used slices of marble cheese in them. We had them with some Hamburger Stew. Very very tasty! There's something about the crescent rolls that I don't care for, the cheese and garlic powder totally covered whatever it is I normally don't care for because I loved them so much I want more.

    Five stars for taste and ease of prep! I used string cheese cut into pieces and drizzled melted butter and parmesan cheese on top before baking.

    Had these with some Tomato Basil soup and the combo was terrific! I wanted something different than the traditional grilled cheese and this was it! So simple and delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Very tasty and easy. I used 2 pieces of string cheese, quartered, instead of the American. It was a great side to a pasta dinner. Thanks.
