Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons dill pickle relish (or finely chopped dill pickles)
Dough and Topping
- 1 package crescent roll dough (sheets or rolls)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and dill pickle relish. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface. If you are using crescent rolls, press the perforations firmly to seal them into full sheets to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared dough sheet. Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one edge, creating a log shape. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds to form individual roll ups.
- Add Dill Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with chopped fresh dill (or dried dill). Brush this dill butter generously over each roll up to add flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
- Bake: Arrange the roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by ranch dressing for dipping, and enjoy these flavorful, creamy bites.
Notes
- You can substitute dill pickle relish with finely chopped dill pickles for more texture.
- Pressing the perforations in crescent dough is important to keep the filling inside during baking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
- These roll ups can be prepared ahead of time and baked right before serving.
- For a lower fat version, consider using light cream cheese and butter substitutes.
