Instructions
Creating Garlic Cheese Pull-Apart Croissants is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
3. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, melted butter, dried herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Fill the Dough: Take a triangle of dough and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at the wider end. Roll it up from the base to the tip, enclosing the filling.
5. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
6. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the croissants with any remaining melted butter for added flavor and a golden finish.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.
