Ingredients
Scale
Filling and Dough
- 2 sheets Refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cloves Additional garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup Mild cheddar cheese (shredded, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or follow the instructions on the crescent roll package to ensure the perfect baking temperature.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, finely chopped chives, minced garlic, and 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Prepare the dough: Carefully unroll the refrigerated crescent roll sheets on a clean surface and cut each sheet into equal triangular sections to form the base for the rolled bites.
- Fill and roll: Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and garlic mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to create individual crescent bites.
- Arrange for baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the rolled crescent bites spaced evenly apart to allow room for expansion while baking.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped chives, and kosher salt. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter topping.
- Apply the topping: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each crescent bite, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Add extra cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the buttered crescent rolls to add an extra cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent bites are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly before serving these warm, cheesy, and garlicky snacks that are perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.
Notes
- For best results, use chilled crescent roll dough and brush the garlic butter topping immediately before baking.
- You can substitute mild cheddar cheese with sharp cheddar or a cheese blend for a stronger flavor.
- Chives can be replaced with finely chopped green onions or parsley if preferred.
- These crescent bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
