Description

Flaky crescent roll sticks filled with savory deli slices and melted cheese, baked until golden and perfect for snacks, appetizers, or quick lunches.


Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count, about 226 g)
  • 8 slices halal deli turkey or beef (about 120 g total)
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks or cheddar cheese sticks (about 168 g total)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (15 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
  3. Place one slice of deli turkey or beef on each dough triangle, folding it if needed to fit.
  4. Place one cheese stick at the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Roll the dough from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling completely.
  6. Place the rolled sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl.
  8. Brush the butter mixture lightly over the tops of the dough.
  9. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking during baking.
  • Different cheeses such as gouda or provolone can be used.
  • Add chili flakes or jalapeños for a spicy variation.
  • Serve with marinara, garlic sauce, ranch, or honey mustard.
  • Cooling on a wire rack helps keep the bottoms crisp.
