Ingredients
01
3 crescent roll sheets.
02
1/2 cup butter, softened.
03
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped.
04
1 tablespoon garlic, minced.
05
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (divided).
06
3 tablespoons butter, melted.
07
1 teaspoon garlic, minced.
08
1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped.
09
1 teaspoon kosher salt.
Instructions
Step 01
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Step 02
On a lightly floured surface, roll each crescent roll dough into a 12x16 inch sheet.
Step 03
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, chives, and minced garlic.
Step 04
Spread one-third of the butter mixture over one sheet of dough.
Step 05
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the buttery dough.
Step 06
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Cut the log in half, then slice each half lengthwise to create four dough sections.
Step 07
Repeat the process with the remaining dough sheets, ending up with 12 dough sections.
Step 08
Take each dough section, twist it into a spiral with the cut sides facing outward, and place it into the prepared muffin tin.
Step 09
Bake the cruffins for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 10
While the cruffins bake, melt the remaining butter and mix in the garlic, chives, and kosher salt to create garlic butter.
Step 11
Once the cruffins are baked, brush them with the garlic butter and serve warm.
Notes
- These cheesy garlic cruffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a side of marinara sauce or ranch for dipping.
- You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella or Parmesan for a different cheese flavor.
