Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.

- Arrange and Season:
- Place the rolled-up crescents on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of the roll-ups.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and poppy seeds or sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. They are perfect as an appetizer or alongside a warm soup or salad.
Tips for Success
- Cheese Variations: Try different cheeses such as mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack for a change in flavor.
- Add Vegetables: Add thinly sliced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard for dipping.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
