Buttery crescents filled with garlic, mozzarella, and cream cheese, finished with parsley and rich garlic butter.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough and Fillings

01 - 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
02 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
03 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Topping

08 - 1/4 cup butter, melted
09 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - Additional fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a mixing bowl, blend shredded mozzarella, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until thoroughly combined.
03 - Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the cheese mixture, stirring to evenly distribute seasonings.
04 - Unroll crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface and separate it gently into individual triangles along the perforations.
05 - Spoon approximately one tablespoon of cheese filling onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
06 - Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking in the edges to fully enclose the filling.
07 - Place each prepared crescent roll onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring adequate spacing between them.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
09 - While the crescents bake, gently melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in garlic powder until dissolved.
10 - Remove crescents from the oven and brush immediately with prepared garlic butter.
11 - Sprinkle additional chopped parsley over the warm rolls. Allow to cool slightly before serving for optimal taste and safety.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the cheese filling is well sealed inside the dough to prevent leakage during baking.
