Cheesy Garlic Cruffins

Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (120 g) This makes the filling rich and luscious. Let it soften so it’s easy to mix.
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced Garlic lovers, this one’s for you. Adjust to taste!
  • cups grated mozzarella cheese, 250g For that melty, stretchy cheese moment.
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 50g Adds sharp, salty flavor. So good.
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Fresh and herby. Optional, but lovely.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Just enough to make the flavors pop.

For the Dough:

  • 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry, chilled—not frozen Puff pastry is the hero here. Make sure it’s chilled so it’s easy to work with.

For the Topping:

  • 2 tbsp melted butter, 30g Brushed on top for extra yum.
  • Extra chopped parsley for garnish Because we eat with our eyes too, right?

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic, mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix until everything’s nicely combined and spreadable.
  • Unroll your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out a bit more so it’s about 3–4 mm thick. You want it thin but not too thin, it’s got to hold all that cheesy goodness.
  • Spread the cheesy garlic butter mixture all over the pastry. Don’t be shy, get it edge to edge. You want every bite to be bursting with flavor.
  • Starting from one end, roll the pastry up tightly, like a jelly roll or a cinnamon roll. You should have a nice little log of buttery, garlicky dough.
  • Cut the roll into 6 to 8 equal pieces. Place each piece cut-side up into a greased muffin tin. This is where they get their cute cruffin shape!
  • Pop them into a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until they’re puffed, golden, and your kitchen smells like heaven.
  • Right out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter (YES) and sprinkle with a little more fresh parsley for that pretty pop of green.
