Deliciously golden and cheesy, these Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls are a quick and easy snack or appetizer. Filled with gooey string cheese and seasoned with garlic and onion powder, they are air-fried to perfection for a crispy outside and melty inside. Perfect for parties or a savory treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Cheese

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • 4 string cheese sticks

Butter Mixture

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • Fresh minced parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. This will serve as the base wrapping for the cheese.
  2. Cut Cheese: Slice each string cheese stick in half to create smaller pieces that fit neatly into the dough triangles.
  3. Stuff and Roll: Place one half of a string cheese stick at the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Fold the dough ends in and then roll up tightly, ensuring the cheese is completely sealed inside to prevent leaking during cooking. Repeat for all pieces.
  4. Make Butter Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined. This buttery mixture adds flavor and promotes browning.
  5. Brush Dough: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture over all sides of the wrapped crescent rolls. Save any leftover butter mixture for after cooking.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the stuffed crescent rolls evenly in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through, with melted cheese inside.
  8. Final Butter and Garnish: Remove the rolls from the air fryer and immediately brush with any remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle freshly minced parsley over the top for a fresh, aromatic finish before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute string cheese with mozzarella sticks or any melty cheese you prefer.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Make sure to seal the dough edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking.
  • Enjoy these warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
  • Adding extra garlic powder to the butter mixture can enhance the savory notes if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
