1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, and optional seasonings until smooth.
3. Assemble the Rolls
Unroll crescent dough. If using triangles, separate into 8 pieces; cut each in half to make 16.
Place 1 tsp cheese filling at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up tightly toward the point.
Or: Use seamless dough—cut into 16 squares, add filling, and fold into bundles.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place rolls seam-side down on baking sheet.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
Optional: Brush with melted butter + garlic after baking.
5. Serve Immediately
Best served warm—cheese is gloriously melty!
Provide toothpicks for easy grabbing.
