Ingredients
  

1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.

        Take one triangle of dough and roll it out slightly with a rolling pin to make it larger.

          Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture at the wide end of the dough triangle and roll it up tightly, starting from the wide end to the tip.

            Place the rolled-up cruffin vertically into the prepared muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling until all the dough is used.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

                Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.

                  Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
