Cheesy Garlic Cruffin Recipe

Print Recipe

These Cheesy Garlic Cruffins combine buttery crescent roll dough with layers of garlic-chive butter and melted cheddar cheese, baked into spiral-shaped pull-apart rolls. Perfect alongside pasta, soup, or holiday meals, they deliver flaky texture and bold garlicky flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets (no perforations)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 3 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • Garlic Butter Topping:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, chives, and minced garlic for the filling.
  • 3. Unroll one crescent sheet and roll lightly with a rolling pin to seal perforations. Spread ⅓ of the butter mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  • 4. Starting from the long end, tightly roll into a log. Cut log in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into 2 pieces (4 total per sheet). Repeat with remaining 2 sheets for 12 pieces total.
  • 5. Take one piece with layers facing out and roll tightly into a spiral. Place in prepared muffin tin. Repeat with remaining pieces.
  • 6. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, mix melted butter, garlic, chives, and salt for topping.
  • 7. Brush warm cruffins with garlic butter topping and serve.

Notes

  • Use crescent roll sheets without perforations for clean layers; regular crescent rolls work if pressed together well.
  • Mild cheddar melts smoothly, but sharp cheddar adds bolder flavor.
  • Chives can be swapped for finely chopped green onions or parsley.
  • For mini cruffins, cut logs into smaller pieces and use mini muffin tin (bake 18 minutes).
  • Store leftovers in airtight container; reheat in 350°F oven for crisp texture.
