Easy & Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls
Cheesy garlic bread is one of our absolute favorites and it’s usually a go-to side option at our homes. However, this recipe for Cheesy Herb Crescent Rolls is also right up there when it comes to delicious roll options. These rolls are dangerously delicious and you won’t be able to stop at just one.
The crescent roll dough is already perfectly flavored with butter and has that distinct soft texture that everyone loves. So we take those basic rolls and add more butter (yes, more butter!), herbs, garlic, and cheese to create the ultimate dinner roll.

What You’ll Need
Here’s what you need to make Cheesy Herb Crescent Rolls. Remember, the exact amounts and instructions are below in the recipe card.
- Canned Crescent Rolls: We used Grands, the larger-sized crescent rolls. You can use smaller ones but they will just have less room for cheese.
- Butter: We recommend using unsalted butter because the dough, seasoning, and cheese also have a lot of salt.
- Fresh Parsley: We used parsley, but you can use any fresh (or dried!) herbs you like. Remember that when using dried herbs you will need half the amount of fresh herbs.
- Garlic Salt: You can also use fresh garlic in place of garlic salt for more of a bite.
- Black Pepper
- Shredded Cheese: We used parmesan and mozzarella for this recipe but you can change up the cheese to your liking! Any cheese would be delicious in these.
How to Make Cheesy Herb Crescent Rolls
The steps are quite simple for making these delicious rolls! Here’s what you need to do:
First, preheat the oven and prepare a sheet tray. You’ll want to line the sheet tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Then roll out the crescent rolls. After that, prepare the butter herb mixture by melting the butter. Then add the parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Then brush the rolls with the butter mixture. You’ll only use about half of the melted butter mixture for this.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of each piece of dough. And then roll up each triangle from the widest side up to the point of the dough. Then brush the tops of the rolls with the butter mixture.
Bake the crescent rolls for 10-12 minutes. They should be golden brown when they are done…and they are best served warm!
Tips for Success
Here are some helpful tips to follow when making these Cheesy Crescent Rolls.
- When using smaller rolls lower the baking time. If using smaller rolls, adjust the cooking time to 8-10 minutes.
- Serve them with a dipping sauce. These are dangerously yummy! Soft, buttery, and cheesy with just enough seasoning that eating them on their own is just as delicious as dunking them in your favorite sauce.
- Try using different cheeses and herbs. You can easily use whatever you have in your kitchen at the time! Just remember to use less dried herbs than fresh herbs.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are great on their own as a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth snack or you can serve them with some of our favorite recipes. Here are some of our favorite suggestions.
- Soup: These rolls are the perfect accompaniment to any soup because they are great for dipping. We love to serve them with our Crockpot Minestrone Soup or Roasted Tomato Soup.
- Pasta: Our favorite pasta recipes to serve these rolls with are anything with a sauce that can be scooped up with the roll! And Spaghetti and Meatballs and Stuffed Shells are perfect recipes to try!

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
You can store any leftover rolls in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We suggest reheating in the toaster oven or even the air fryer for a minute or two.
You can also freeze these rolls for up to 5 months if you want to make a big batch and save the rest for another day. You can reheat from the frozen state, there’s no need to thaw them ahead of time.
