Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup dill pickle relish (or finely chopped dill pickles)
Dough
- 1 sheet crescent roll dough (or equivalent rolls pressed to seal perforations)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and dill pickle relish. Stir together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent dough into a single sheet. If using crescent rolls, press the perforations firmly to seal them, creating a full sheet of dough without separations.
- Assemble: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough sheet. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds to form individual roll ups.
- Add Dill Butter: Mix the melted butter with fresh chopped dill or dried dill. Brush this flavorful dill butter generously over the tops of each sliced roll up to enhance flavor and browning.
- Bake: Arrange the roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 22 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Pressing the perforations in crescent roll dough helps prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use fresh dill for a brighter flavor, but dried dill is a convenient substitute.
- If you prefer spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the cream cheese mixture.
- These roll ups are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent dough if available.
