Air Fryer Garlic Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls Recipe
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!
Check out my Air Fryer Caramel Apple Pie Crescents.
You could just make crescent rolls in the air fryer on their own, but that is a bit boring (but still tasty). Jazz them up with a few extra ingredients to make something even more delicious!
I love making this simple snack whenever I get hungry for a mid-afternoon treat. They take about 10 minutes or so to prep and cook.
Ingredients
The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.
- 1 package of 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.
How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls
- Step One: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and set it for 6 minutes of cooking time.
- Step Two: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into eight triangles.
- Step Three: Place a piece of cheese at the end of each triangle.
- Step Four: Roll up and fold in the sides of the crescent roll dough.
- Step Five: Brush garlic butter all over the crescent roll dough.
- Step Six: Once preheated, cook in the air fryer for 6 minutes. Don’t overcrowd. You might need to work in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Step Seven: Remove from the air fryer and brush the tops with garlic butter. Let cool about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- 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 can 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 hardens while the crescent rolls cook. You’ll need to brush more on after they are finished air frying.
Storage Instructions
If you aren’t eating them immediately, wrap them up with plastic so they don’t harden. They will become crusty if you leave them on the counter exposed to air.
I recommend microwaving them to heat them a little before you eat any leftovers.
They’ll keep about 2 to 3 days, covered, at room temperature. Enjoy them right away for the best results.
What to Serve with Them
- Enjoy them on their own as a snack or appetizer.
- Add them to your spaghetti dinner instead of garlic bread.
- Dip them into a bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup.
- Serve with a Greek Chicken Salad on the side.
- Sop all that addicting sauce in this Crack Chicken Spaghetti.
