Air Fryer Garlic Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls are a quick and easy snack or appetizer. Pillsbury crescent roll dough is brushed with garlic butter and wrapped around mozzarella cheese. Warning: they are addictive!

I’ve been on a kick with air fryer recipes using crescent rolls. So far I’ve shared two air fryer desserts: Air Fryer Chocolate Croissants and Air Fryer Oreos. I also love using my air fryer to make savory recipes!

    I love making this simple snack when ever I get hungry for a mid-afternoon treat. They take about 10 minutes or so to prep and cook. 

    Ingredients

    • 1 package Pillsbury crescent rolls – I buy a bunch when they are on sale because I know I’ll always have a use for them. 
    • Mozzarella cheese strings or slices of mozzarella cheese – You could use another variety of cheese if you don’t have mozzarella. Cheddar is also yummy.
    • Garlic butter – Use garlic butter or make your own by mixing a small clove of minced garlic with melted butter.

    Recipe Tips

    • Brush the melted butter on right before you place the rolls in the air fryer so they stay moist.
    • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. The crescent rolls expand when cooking and could combine into one big lump of air fried dough!
    • Work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
    • Melt the remaining garlic butter again if it starts to harden while the crescent rolls are cooking. You’ll need to brush more on after they are finished air frying.

    How to Store

    If you aren’t eating them right away, wrap them up with plastic wrap so they don’t harden. If you leave them on the counter exposed to air, they will become crusty.

    I recommend microwaving them to heat them up a little before you eat any leftovers. 

    They’ll keep about 2 to 3 days, covered, at room temperature. For best results, enjoy them right away.
