Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8 ounces) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 pieces mozzarella string cheese, halved
Seasoning and Herb Blend:
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 4–5 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
Finishing Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Create a flavorful garlic butter mixture by combining melted butter with Italian seasoning, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and finely chopped basil in a small mixing bowl.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangular sections.
- Generously brush each crescent triangle with the prepared garlic butter mixture, reserving a small amount for later use.
- Take a piece of string cheese and cut it in half lengthwise. Position one half at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Gently roll the crescent dough around the cheese, carefully folding and tucking the edges to completely encase the cheese and prevent leakage during baking.
- Brush the exterior of each rolled crescent with the remaining garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the prepared garlic cheese bombs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each piece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents achieve a golden brown color and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent burning.
