Description

Cheesy Garlic Cruffins are flaky, golden pastries crafted by layering crescent roll dough with a flavorful garlic butter spread and generous amounts of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Shaped like muffins, these savory treats offer a perfect balance of buttery garlic aroma and melty cheese, ideal as a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cheeses and Garnish

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature by the time your cruffins are ready to bake.
  2. Prepare the muffin tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent the cruffins from sticking and make for easy removal after baking.
  3. Make garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning, mixing well to infuse the butter with aromatic flavors.
  4. Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully press all seams together to form one large, uniform rectangle for easy layering.
  5. Apply garlic butter: Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly across the entire surface of the dough to ensure every bite has delicious garlic flavor.
  6. Add cheese layers: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly over the buttered dough to create a rich, cheesy filling.
  7. Roll and cut dough: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then slice it into six equal pieces to form individual cruffins.
  8. Arrange in muffin tin: Place each dough slice upright into the prepared muffin tin cups with the spiral side facing up to showcase the beautiful layers.
  9. Bake: Bake the cruffins for 15–18 minutes until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Serve warm to enjoy the full savory flavor and flaky texture.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture before brushing onto the dough.
