Grilled Cheese Dippers

Recipe Ingredients

Simple ingredients, big flavor! Here’s what you need to make this ultimate twist on grilled cheese sandwiches.

Refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet: No fancy baking skills needed here! This tender, ready-to-use dough holds everything together and bakes to light, flaky perfection.

Progresso™ Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs: These add a light, crispy coating for extra crunch in every bite.

American and Cheddar Cheese: Two kinds of cheese make these dippers irresistibly melty and gooey. If you want to spice things up, you can use pepper Jack instead of cheddar. And if string cheese is all you have on hand, that will work just fine, too!

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Butter and garlic powder give the bread crumbs plenty of rich, savory flavor and help them brown nicely. And don’t forget tomato soup for dipping! It’s the ultimate cozy meal pairing.

How to Make Grilled Cheese Dippers

Just a few easy steps and you’re on your way to warm, melty Grilled Cheese Dippers. Here’s a quick look at what to do. Keep scrolling for the full recipe!

1. Prep the Coating

Melt butter with garlic powder, stir in Progresso™ panko bread crumbs, and transfer to a pie plate or shallow dish.

2. Prep the Dough

Roll out the Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet, and cut it into squares.

3. Add the Cheese

Layer a slice of American cheese and a stick of cheddar cheese on each piece of dough, then roll each one up snugly, pinching the edges together to seal. Make sure they’re sealed firmly; otherwise, the cheese will melt out!

4. Coat with Bread Crumbs

Roll each dipper in the bread crumb mixture to coat. If you have trouble getting it all to stick, you can just sprinkle the rest of the crumbs over the top of the dippers before baking.

5. Bake and Dunk

Pierce the tops with a knife to let the steam out (so they don’t pop open), and bake in a 375°F oven until golden and crisp. Serve warm, preferably with a big, steaming hot bowl of soup for dunking!

How to Store (and Reheat) Grilled Cheese Dippers

If you have extras, you can reheat them in the oven to bring back that flaky, crispy, cheesy goodness for round two of dipping. Here’s what to do.

Refrigerator Storage

Store leftover Grilled Cheese Dippers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer Storage

We wouldn’t recommend storing leftover dippers in the freezer; the dough will get too dense and soggy when thawed.

Reheating

Put leftover dippers on a sheet pan, cover with foil to prevent overbrowning, and heat in a 375°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
