Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough: This is the magic base that makes everything easy and flaky. Choose your favorite brand for best results.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Go for fresh mozzarella if you can; it melts beautifully and adds incredible flavor.
Grated Parmesan Cheese: A sprinkle of this brings a nutty depth that complements the mozzarella perfectly.
Fresh Herbs (Basil and Parsley): Use chopped fresh herbs for vibrant flavor; dried herbs work too but lack the freshness.
Garlic Powder: A touch of garlic powder elevates the flavor profile without being overpowering.
Pepper Flakes (optional): For those who like a little kick, add red pepper flakes to spice things up!

Recipe preparation

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your crescents bake evenly and turn golden brown.

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, garlic powder, and optional pepper flakes. Mix until well combined for an even flavor throughout.

Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Separate it into triangles as indicated on the package; this is where the magic begins!

Add the Filling: Place a spoonful of cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Be generous but don’t overfill; we want crescents, not cheese explosions!

Shape Your Crescents: Roll each triangle from wide to narrow carefully over the filling. Curve slightly if desired to create that classic crescent shape.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place shaped crescents on your prepared baking sheet and pop them in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are beautifully golden brown.
