Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 – 8 oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 pieces mozzarella string cheese, halved across to make 2 short sticks
- 6 Tbsp salted butter, melted
- 4-5 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, grated or finely minced garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, and basil. This fragrant garlic butter will be the key to the amazing flavor of your cheese bombs.
Assembly
- Unroll the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into individual triangles. Lay them out on a clean surface.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Using a pastry brush, generously brush each triangle with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring you save some for later.
- Add the Cheese: Place a piece of halved string cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and tuck in the edges to seal the cheese inside.
- Final Touches: Place the rolled-up cheese bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter to give them a beautiful golden finish.
Baking
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Serving
These Buttery Garlic Cheese Bombs are best served warm, straight out of the oven. They make an excellent appetizer, side dish, or snack. Enjoy them on their own or with a marinara dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
