Ingredients

- Salted Butter: Use melted butter.

Instructions
Full step-by-step instructions for the garlic cheese rolls are in the recipe card below. You can print or save to Pinterest for later.
Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F. Use a non-stick baking sheet or line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Prep Rolls: Roll your crescent dough out flat on a non-stick surface. Roll it lightly with a rolling pin to seal the perforated lines.
Brush melted butter onto the dough. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning and parmesan all over the dough. Sprinkle with cooked bacon bits. Add as much or little as you like.
Cut into long strips, about 1.5"-2" wide. Roll each strip of dough from each end to meet in the middle.
Flip the heart right side up and pinch the bottom to make a heart shape. Push a toothpick into the middle to make sure the heart holds together while it's baking. If you don't the heart might get lopsided. Sprinkle with cheese on top.
Bake: Place rolls onto a baking sheet. Space them at least 2" apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it's puffed up, golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serving
Serve cheesy garlic rolls with soup or salad or your favorite meat dish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Parmesan cheese is best on the inside of these cheesy garlic knots. We love a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top of the rolls. A mixture of mozzarella and cheddar cheese is also great!
