For an extra layer of flavor, brush the tops of the mozzarella sticks with melted garlic butter before baking. Experiment with different cheeses! Provolone, fontina, or even a spicy pepper jack would be delicious. If you don't have pizza sauce, marinara or even a pesto dipping sauce would work well. Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent rolls well to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepOn a clean work surface, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles. Press the perforations together firmly to seal, creating seamless rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half, resulting in 8 smaller rectangles.
03
StepPlace a slice of mozzarella cheese onto each rectangle. Gently roll up the dough, ensuring a snug fit around the cheese. Press the edges firmly to seal, preventing any cheesy escape during baking.
04
StepArrange the mozzarella sticks seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This ensures even baking and prevents sticking.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the crescent rolls are beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey, approximately 11 to 13 minutes. (Bake time: 11-13 minutes)
06
StepWhile the mozzarella sticks are baking, gently warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating, about 5 minutes. (Sauce prep: 5 minutes)
07
StepOnce the mozzarella sticks are golden, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately with the warm pizza sauce for dipping.
