3-Ingredient Strawberry & Cheese Crescent Rolls

Yield: 8 rolls

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Bake Time: 12–15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut in half) or 4 full sticks cut into 8 pieces
  • 8 teaspoons strawberry jam (or your favorite fruit jam)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
  4. Place 1 teaspoon strawberry jam near the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Add 1 piece of mozzarella cheese on top of the jam.
  6. Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end toward the tip.
  7. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  9. Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.

Serve warm for the best gooey cheese texture.


Tips

  • Don’t overfill with jam, or it may leak during baking.
  • Pinch the dough edges lightly to help keep the cheese inside.
  • Use chilled cheese sticks for easier rolling.

Questions & Answers (Q&S)

Q1: Can I use a different jam?
Yes! Raspberry, blueberry, apricot, blackberry, or peach jam all work well.

Q2: Can I use cream cheese instead of mozzarella?
Yes. Use about 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese in each roll for a rich, creamy filling.

Yes. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7–9 minutes, checking frequently until golden.

Q4: Can I prepare them ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the rolls, cover, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking.

Q5: Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze baked rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.

Q6: Why is the cheese leaking out?
Make sure the dough is rolled tightly and the seams are pinched closed before baking.

Q7: Can I sprinkle sugar on top?
Yes. A light sprinkle of coarse sugar before baking adds a sweet, crunchy finish.

Q8: What can I serve with these?
They pair well with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh fruit, or vanilla ice cream for dessert.
