👩🍳 How To Make Cheesy Garlic Butter Crescents (Step-by-Step)
1. Preheat Your Oven

2. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix:
- Melted butter
- Minced garlic
- Salt and pepper
Tip: Let it sit for a couple of minutes so the garlic infuses into the butter.
3. Prepare the Dough
- Unroll the crescent dough
- Separate into triangles (as pre-cut)
4. Add the Good Stuff 🧀
- Brush each triangle lightly with garlic butter
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top
5. Roll Them Up
- Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle into a crescent shape
- Place on your baking tray
6. Brush & Finish
- Brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter
- Add a little extra cheese on top if you’re feeling indulgent
7. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until:
- Golden brown
- Crispy on the outside
- Gooey on the inside
8. Garnish & Serve 🌿
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
