This Cheesy Garlic Cruffin is the perfect blend of a croissant and a muffin—crispy, flaky layers filled with garlicky, cheesy goodness. Easy to make with refrigerated crescent roll dough, it’s a fun treat for breakfast, brunch, or snack time.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

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

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup (113 g / 1 stick) 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

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each tube of dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle.

  • If using perforated dough, pinch seams to seal.

Step 3: Make the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, chives, and garlic.

  • Spread about 1/3 of the butter mixture over one sheet of dough.

  • Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar evenly over the butter.

Step 4: Shape the Cruffins

  • Roll the long end of the dough into a tight log.

  • Cut the log in half, then cut each half lengthwise to make 4 sections.

  • Repeat with remaining sheets; you’ll have 12 sections in total.

  • Roll each section into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking the end under, and place in the muffin tin.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6: Garlic Butter Topping

  • While cruffins bake, whisk together melted butter, garlic, chives, and salt.

  • Brush over warm cruffins immediately after baking.

Step 7: Serve

  • Serve warm and enjoy the flaky, cheesy, garlicky goodness.

Notes

  • Dough handling: Lightly flour your surface to prevent sticking and pinch seams well if using perforated dough.

  • Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best melting and flavor.

  • Garlic butter: Brush immediately after baking while the cruffins are still hot to maximize flavor absorption.

  • Serving: Serve warm for the best texture and gooeyness.
