Recipe walkthrough: Instructions
This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Step 1: Cut the crescent roll sheets on a lightly floured surface with a 2-½" cookie cutter. Make sure they're equal pieces.
- Step 2: Mix the cheeses in a medium bowl and fill each dough circle with the mixed cheese and close up.
- Step 3: Place the cheese filled dough balls on a parchment paper lined baking tray, around a ramekin dish (empty). In the shape of a wreath.
- Step 4: Bake in a preheated oven for 18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Step 5: Melt the butter in a small bowl and mix with garlic, parsley and salt and pepper.
- Step 6: Brush tops of warm rolls with the garlic butter and fill the ramekin with your favorite sauce.
Hint: Use the off-cuts (dough pieces) from the crescent roll dough and cut little shapes to bake. I cut stars with mine. Or just roll up and bake.
Recipe variations and substitute ideas

How to store leftovers
Once you have finished serving at room temperature and you have some left, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You could also just wrap the whole thing with plastic wrap.
Mel's kitchen notes
For best results reheat in the oven. Reheating in the microwave will cause the bread to become soft.
