Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls in Air Fryer Recipe


  • Author: lilan
  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 8 crescent rolls 1x

Description

Deliciously gooey cheese stuffed crescent rolls made quick and easy in the air fryer. These buttery, garlicky crescent rolls are perfect as a snack or appetizer, featuring string cheese wrapped inside golden, flaky dough and brushed with flavorful garlic butter.


Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • 4 string cheese sticks

Garlic Butter

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • Fresh minced parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles to prepare for stuffing.
  2. Slice the cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half to fit perfectly inside the crescent rolls.
  3. Stuff the crescent rolls: Place one half of the string cheese at the wide end of each dough triangle. Fold the sides and roll the dough tightly over the cheese, sealing completely.
  4. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
  5. Brush dough with butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over all sides of the stuffed crescent rolls, reserving some butter for after cooking.
  6. Arrange in air fryer: Place the crescent rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
  7. Air fry: Cook the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Final touch: Remove rolls from the air fryer and immediately brush with the reserved garlic butter. Sprinkle with freshly minced parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent it from leaking during cooking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
