Cheesy Garlic Knots are the perfect blend of gooey mozzarella cheese, buttery garlic, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley and parmesan. Whether you’re hosting a game night, a family dinner, or just looking for a quick and delicious snack, these knots are sure to impress. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
- 2 8oz. Pilsbury Crescent Rolls
- 5-6 Mozzarella string cheese, cut into thirds
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 5 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 5 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove finely minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent rolls from the tube. Follow the seam and divide the dough into four rectangles. Slice each rectangle in half horizontally. If the dough comes apart, pinch it together.
Assembly: 3. Place one piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough strip.
- Gently tie each strip into a knot, ensuring the ends are tucked underneath to completely cover the cheese.
- Arrange the knots one inch apart in staggered rows on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking: 6. Bake in the preheated oven until the knots are a deep golden color, about 10-12 minutes.
Coating: 7. While the knots are baking, combine the melted butter, finely chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and kosher salt in a large bowl.
- As soon as the knots are done baking, immediately toss them in the butter mixture to coat thoroughly. Serve warm for the best experience.
Quick Tips
- Cheese Substitution: If you don’t have mozzarella string cheese, you can use any other meltable cheese that you prefer.
- Herb Variation: Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the knots ahead of time and refrigerate them. Just bake and coat them right before serving.
