Cheesy Garlic Cruffin Recipe
If you love pastries and cheese, this Cheesy Garlic Cruffin Recipe is perfect. A cruffin is a mix between a croissant and muffin.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley or oregano
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with parchment paper.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Roll the puff pastry sheet slightly to flatten. It should be even and easy to handle.
Mix Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried herbs.
Spread Garlic Butter
- Brush the garlic butter evenly over the puff pastry sheet. Cover every corner.
Add Cheese
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry. Press lightly to stick.
Cut the Pastry
- Cut puff pastry into 6–8 long strips. Each strip should fit into muffin tin wells.
Roll Each Strip
- Roll each strip like a cinnamon roll. Keep layers tight to hold the cheese inside.
Place in Muffin Tin
- Put each rolled strip in a muffin tin well. Make sure the top is slightly open.
Brush with Egg Wash
- Beat egg and brush lightly on top of each cruffin for golden color.
Bake the Cruffins
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown, crispy outside, and soft inside.
Cool Slightly
- Remove from oven. Cool 3–5 minutes before serving. Cheese will be hot.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with tea, coffee or as a snack. Enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for best melting and flavor.
- Brush garlic butter evenly to cover all layers.
- Roll tightly but gently to avoid cheese spilling out.
- Egg wash gives a shiny, golden finish.
- Serve immediately for warm, gooey cheese.
