Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry, thawed)
Garlic Herb Butter:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and pinch the seams together to form a single sheet.
- Make the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the cruffins: Brush the garlic herb butter mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Roll the dough tightly into a log, slice it in half lengthwise, twist each half into a spiral, and coil into a muffin cup, cut-side up.
- Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
Notes
- These cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- For variety, try adding shredded mozzarella or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- These cruffins pair well with marinara sauce or served alongside a warm soup.
