1 teaspoon garlic powder (5 g)
-
1 teaspoon onion powder (5 g)
-
1 teaspoon paprika (5 g)
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (5 g)
-
½ teaspoon salt (2.5 g)
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper (1.25 g)
-
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (170 g)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (110 g)
-
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (15 g) + extra for garnish
-
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (approx. 230 g)
-
1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess grease.
-
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Mix in cheddar, mozzarella, and parsley until combined.
-
Roll out crescent dough, sealing seams into a rectangle.
-
Spread beef mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
-
Roll from the long side, seal seam, and tuck ends.
-
Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.
-
Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
-
Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Combine cheddar (sharpness) and mozzarella (melt) for best flavor.
Seal seams tightly to prevent cheese leakage.
Egg wash ensures a bakery-style golden crust.
Rest before slicing to keep filling intact.
