Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 pkg Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Seasoned Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Cheese slices (for garnish)
- Sliced olives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Shape Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully, separating the triangles. Roll each triangle from the long edge to form the brim of the witches’ hat. Shape the top of the triangle into a rounded point to mimic the hat’s top, then place each shaped roll onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all dough pieces.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasonings to create a flavorful brush for the rolls.
- Brush Rolls: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture onto each crescent roll ensuring an even coating.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the brushed crescent rolls for a savory touch.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crescent rolls for 11 to 13 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the baked witch hat rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Slice cheese into thin strips and place each slice along the brim of the witches’ hats as a band. Top each cheese band with a single olive slice to resemble a buckle.
- Serve: Serve the Witches Hat Crescent Rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as guacamole, or enjoy them plain as a delightful appetizer.
Notes
- These crescent rolls are quick and easy to prepare, making them an ideal last-minute appetizer.
- You can customize the seasoning blend to your preference or add other herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Substitute the Parmesan with other hard cheeses like Asiago or Pecorino for varied flavors.
- Make sure to slice the cheese thinly so it melts slightly but holds shape on the hat brim after baking.
