Ingredients

Dough and Cheese

  • 8 count package crescent roll dough
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fillings and Toppings

  • 16 mini dill pickles (or gherkins), patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Then slice each triangle in half lengthwise so you have thinner strips to wrap the pickles.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Spread a layer of softened cream cheese evenly over each narrow piece of dough, providing a creamy base layer.
  4. Sprinkle Cheddar: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cream cheese layer, pressing lightly so it adheres well to the dough.
  5. Wrap Pickles: Starting at the wide end of the dough strip, place a mini pickle and roll the dough tightly around it, enclosing the pickle completely. Arrange each wrapped pickle seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Apply Butter and Seasoning: Brush the tops of the wrapped pickles with melted butter, then sprinkle parsley flakes and garlic powder evenly over them to add flavor and a nice golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious appetizer or party snack.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the pickles dry to prevent soggy dough.
  • You can substitute mini gherkins if mini dill pickles are unavailable.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper along with the garlic powder.
  • This recipe yields 16 pieces, ideal for a party platter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
