Begin by rolling out the first package of crescent rolls. Pinch the seams together prior to rolling out. A light dusting of flour will keep the dough from sticking to your rolling pin. I laid out wax paper on my counter to work on so clean up would be easier.

Next cut the cheese in small square pieces, not too thick and lay them over the rolls. The Mozzerella cheese I sprinkled on top is not part of the recipe. It’s just me going overboard. 

It is okay for the cheese not to be touching. The cheese will melt and fill in all the gaps while cooking.

Take the remaining Crescent Rolls and create the top to completely cover the cheese.

A light dusting of flour will make the rolling process smoother. Grab your rolling pin! It is always fun to make things in the kitchen using a rolling pin, isn’t it!

Roll over the top with your rolling pin a couple of times then fold the entire thing in half and continue to roll. Then, yes fold it one more time and roll some more! All the folding and rolling will create those layers.

Cut yours as wide as long as you desire. That will depend on how many folks are about to enjoy these delicious Grilled Cheese Fries!

Use a nice big skillet for the deep frying process. Fill only about half of the skillet with your preference of oil and preheat. I only fried a few at a time and I do not recommend filling the skillet with too many at once. These do not cook like french fries. They will stick together while frying so don’t over fill the pan.

Do you remember that this recipe is a Pinterest challenge for me? I learned that the cheese escapes into the oil causing the oil to get darker the more you fry. It also makes cleaning the skillet really fun too, if you know what I mean.

  1. Anytime you make something with cheese – these fries, mac and cheese, etc., squirt a little ammonia in the pan or dish along with soap and water. Let it set. Gummy cheese lifts right up! Miracle.

  2. My husband does the after dinner clean up/dishes at our house and I know he wouldn’t be amused with having to scrub this pan! But I know we’d both love the sampling process 🙂

  3. These look so scrummy!! Will have to do some research on what crescent rolls are as we don’t have them here in Australia. But I’m sure I will find something because I know my family will love these.

  4. I have pinned that photo a time or two and would never have thought that these cheese fries were made with crescent rolls! I don’t much like a recipe that is messy and labor intensive either and feel like they should come with warning labels. At least they were scrumptious though; that’s a huge plus!

We enjoying hearing from you!
