Ingredients
  

  • Dough: 3 tubes refrigerated crescent roll sheets - the base of our cruffins adding texture and flavor.
  • Filling: ½ cup unsalted butter - provides richness and moisture; 1 tbsp chives - adds fresh herbal notes; 1 tbsp minced garlic - for that essential savory punch; 3 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded - for melty, gooey deliciousness.
  • Garlic Butter: 3 tbsp melted butter - for brushing on top; 1 tsp garlic - to enhance the garlic flavor; 1 tsp chives - to add flavor and a pop of color; 1 tsp kosher salt - to elevate all the flavors.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray to prevent any sticking.
  2. Prepare the crescent roll dough: Take each tube of crescent roll dough and roll it into a rectangle. Be sure to seal any seams if necessary to maintain the filling.
  3. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 tbsp chives, and 1 tbsp minced garlic. Mix well until fully combined, then spread this filling generously over the rolled-out dough.
  4. Add cheese: Top the spread with 3 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese, ensuring an even layer across the dough.
  5. Roll and shape: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then cut it into pieces about 1-2 inches thick. Twist each piece into cinnamon roll shapes and place them cut-side up in the prepared muffin tin.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  7. Prepare garlic butter: While the cruffins bake, mix the garlic butter ingredients: 3 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp chives, and 1 tsp kosher salt in a small bowl.
  8. Brush and serve: Once the cruffins are golden and baked through, remove them from the oven and brush generously with the garlic butter immediately. Serve warm and enjoy!
