Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, dill, etc.)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your rolls bake evenly and become golden brown.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, fresh herbs (such as parsley and dill), and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean, flat surface. You should have a large rectangle of dough divided into individual triangles.
- Take a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make rolling difficult.
- Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle towards the pointed end, wrapping the filling inside the dough. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to keep the filling from leaking out.
- Once all the rolls are formed, place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- For a golden finish, you can brush the tops of the rolls with a little melted butter or an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) before baking.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Serve the Green Onion Herb Crescent Rolls warm, either as a delightful appetizer or as a side dish to complement your main meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the cream cheese filling a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to roll the dough.
- Experiment with Herbs: Feel free to mix and match your favorite fresh herbs! Basil, chives, or even a hint of thyme can add unique flavors to your rolls.
- Don’t Overfill: When adding the cream cheese mixture to the dough, use just enough to fill without overflowing. This will help keep the rolls intact while baking.
- Perfectly Golden: For an extra touch of richness, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash before baking. This will give them a beautiful, golden finish.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm to enhance their flaky texture and delicious filling.
- Pairing Suggestions: Consider pairing your rolls with a dipping sauce, like ranch or a zesty herb-infused oil, to take your appetizer to the next level!
