Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons dill pickle relish (or finely chopped dill pickles)
Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough (8 oz, sheets or rolls)
Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and dill pickle relish. Stir together thoroughly until smooth and well blended to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent dough onto a clean surface. If using crescent rolls, press the perforations firmly to seal and create full dough sheets for easier rolling.
- Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Add Dill Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the fresh or dried dill. Brush this dill butter generously over each roll up to add moisture and an herby flavor.
- Bake: Place the roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with ranch dressing on the side for dipping to enhance the creamy, tangy flavors.
Notes
- For a crisper bottom, place the baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven.
- You can substitute dill pickle relish with finely chopped whole dill pickles for a chunkier texture.
- Use fresh dill if possible for brighter flavor, though dried dill works well too.
- Roll ups can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking for up to 24 hours.
- Serve with additional ranch dressing or sour cream for extra dipping options.
