Note

For a crispier bottom, place the cookie sheet on the middle rack of the oven.

You can substitute the mozzarella with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor profile.

These crescents are best served warm. They can be reheated in a toaster oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
