Silly- Simple Cheese and Garlic Filled Crescents

"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."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375F; line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with butter flavored cooking spray.
  • Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles; sprinkle each with garlic powder.
  • Cut or divide each cheese slice into quarters to make 8 small squares of cheese.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Repeat for each dough triangle and bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden.

  1. 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.
     
  2. Great idea. I used string cheese as suggested by JPerez, and added a couple slices of spicy pepperoni (hot by Hormel). To make sure they weren't too greasy, I microwaved the pepperoni slices on high for 1 min, sandwiched between paper towels. There is no end to the cheese/meat combinations I might try next: Ham and Swiss, Italian sausage and parmesan. Beef and cheddar. Can't wait. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. I have made these for some time now, but I use cream cheese, and it's soo yummy:) Thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
