Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Parchment Paper (optional, for non-stick and easy cleanup)
- 1 Oven
- 1 Spatula (for transferring)
Ingredients
Main
- 1 8-ounce tube crescent rolls
- 4 to 8 thin slices orange cheese sliced cheddar, American cheese, or Velveeta
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll package, typically 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.
- Place 1 to 2 thin slices of your chosen orange cheese onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Carefully fold the dough over the cheese, ensuring the edges are well-sealed to enclose the cheese completely.
- Roll the dough from the wider, cheese-filled end towards the pointed tip to form a crescent shape.
- Arrange the prepared cheese zombies on the lined baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed, golden brown, and the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbling.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese zombies cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delightful, cheesy creation.
Notes
1. For an extra golden finish and subtle richness, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with a little melted butter or an egg wash (egg yolk mixed with a splash of water) before baking. 2. To elevate the flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of your favorite dried herbs (like oregano or chives) directly onto the cheese before wrapping. 3. Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the cheese from oozing out excessively during baking. If using softer cheeses like Velveeta, a tighter seal is even more crucial. 4. Baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for a beautiful golden-brown color and bubbling cheese for optimal doneness.
