Description

This Cheesy Garlic Cruffin recipe features crescent roll dough filled with a cheesy, chive garlic butter, rolled, cut, and baked to perfection in a muffin tin. They’re perfect as a side dish or appetizer!


Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets

Filling:

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 3 cups (339 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)

Garlic Butter:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each tube of crescent roll dough to a 12×16-inch rectangle. If using perforated dough, pinch the seams to seal them together.
  • Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped chives, and minced garlic. Spread ⅓ of this butter mixture evenly over one sheet of dough.
  • Add the Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered dough.
  • Roll and Cut the Dough: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log in half to make two shorter logs, then cut each of these in half lengthwise, resulting in four dough sections.
  • Shape the Cruffins: With the layered sides of each dough section facing outward, roll each piece into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking in the ends. Place the rolled dough into the prepared muffin tin.
  • Repeat with Remaining Dough: Repeat the process with the remaining two sheets of dough, creating a total of 12 cruffins.
  • Bake the Cruffins: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Make the Garlic Butter: While the cruffins are baking, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped chives, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Finish the Cruffins: Once the cruffins are done baking, brush them with the garlic butter while they are still warm.

Notes

  • These cruffins are best enjoyed warm.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and chives based on your preference.
