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
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
- Place 1 teaspoon strawberry jam near the wide end of each triangle.
- Add 1 piece of mozzarella cheese on top of the jam.
- Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end toward the tip.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- 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.
Q3: Can I make these in the air fryer?
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.
