Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 8 oz crescent rolls
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
Garnish
- 4 oz cheddar cheese (cut into strips)
- 8 black olives (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Shape Crescent Rolls: Unroll the 8 oz crescent rolls and separate each triangle. Roll the wide end of each triangle a couple of times to form the brim of the witch hat, then gently round the tips of the hat to create the classic witch hat shape. Repeat with all triangles.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted 2 tablespoons of butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning until well combined. This mixture will add a delicious herby, garlicky flavor.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush each shaped crescent roll thoroughly with the butter mixture. Then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops to add a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Hats: Place the prepared rolls on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the hats are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating to prevent cheese melting too much or slipping off.
- Decorate: Garnish each cooled witch hat by placing strips of 4 oz cheddar cheese onto the brim to mimic the hat band, then top off with a slice of black olive to serve as the buckle. Serve immediately for best taste and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the crescent rolls are fully cooled before adding the cheddar and olive garnish to keep the toppings intact.
- You can double or triple the recipe amounts to serve larger groups.
- For a more festive look, use different colored olives or cheese shapes.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
