Easy Easy Air Fryer Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls Recipe Tips

  • Spray your basket or use a silicone liner before you add the crescent dough. Otherwise, you might find that the dough sticks while it cooks up.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops of the crescent dough with melted butter and season with more Italian seasoning.
  • Do not crowd your basket, as the air fryer needs space for the air to flow to perfectly cook up the food.
  • Change out the cheese. Anything works well. While I used a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, any cheese that you love will work.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Store any leftover cheese stuffed crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep them soft and fresh.
  • Freezing: To freeze, place the unbaked rolls on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Reheating: Reheat baked rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until warm and gooey. Avoid microwaving if possible, as this can make them soggy.
