Ingredients

Scale
  • Dough:
    • 3 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
  • Filling:
    • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
    • 3 cups (339 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • Garlic Butter Topping:
    • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tsp garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp chives, finely chopped
    • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll each crescent roll sheet into a 12×16-inch rectangle. If using perforated dough, pinch the seams to seal.
  • Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix softened butter, chives, and minced garlic.
  • Spread and layer: Spread ⅓ of the butter mixture evenly over one dough sheet. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Roll and cut: Starting at the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log in half, then cut each half lengthwise to create four sections. Repeat with the remaining dough sheets.
  • Shape the cruffins: With the layered side facing out, roll each section into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking the ends in. Place into the prepared muffin tin. Repeat for all sections.
  • Bake the cruffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  • Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chives, and salt.
  • Brush the cruffins: Once baked, brush the garlic butter topping generously over the warm cruffins.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm as a savory snack or side dish.

Notes

 

  • For a more intense garlic flavor, you can add extra garlic to the filling.
  • These cruffins are best served fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
