Herb And Cheese Pull Aparts
Herb and cheese pull aparts are savory, cheesy snacks infused with fresh herbs, perfect for gatherings or as a flavorful appetizer to delight guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese, dried parsley flakes, dried whole basil, chopped chives, dill seed, and garlic powder in a small bowl; stir well.
- Set aside the herb and cheese mixture.
- Unroll the crescent rolls into two rectangles; connect ends to form one long rectangle.
- Press perforations to seal the dough together.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent rolls, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the dough starting from the long side in a jellyroll fashion.
- Pinch the edge to seal the roll.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seed.
- Cut into individual pull-apart pieces and bake until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding different herbs like oregano or thyme to the cream cheese mixture. You can also substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative if you need a vegan option. Make sure to seal the edges well when forming the roll to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
