Ingredients
For the Rolls:

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter Drizzle:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Mix the Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
- Roll Out Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Spread Filling: Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each triangle.
- Add Meat: Place a slice of turkey, chicken, or ham on top of the cheese mixture.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly into a crescent shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake the Rolls
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake: Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Add the Garlic Butter Drizzle
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon dried parsley.
- Drizzle Over Rolls: While the crescent rolls are still warm, brush or drizzle the garlic butter over the tops.
Cooking Notes
- Cheese Variation: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, or Swiss for a different flavor twist.
- Meat Substitutes: Use ham, roast beef, or even a vegetarian filling like sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
- Extra Crispiness: Brush an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water) over the rolls before baking for an extra golden crust.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a side of honey mustard or marinara sauce for dipping.
- Pair with a light salad for a quick lunch or brunch.
- Perfect for Super Bowl parties, game nights, or holiday appetizers.
Tips
- Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls a few hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Freeze for Later: Freeze unbaked rolls, then bake straight from frozen (add a few extra minutes).
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture for extra heat.
