Ingredients
For the Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced
2 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Dough:
1 sheet ready-made puff pastry, chilled—not frozen
For the Topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
Extra chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) thickness. Spread the cheesy garlic butter mixture evenly across the entire surface.
- Form the Cruffins: Roll the pastry up tightly like a jelly roll. Slice the roll into 6–8 equal pieces. Place each roll cut-side up in a greased or lined muffin tin.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- Finish & Serve: Brush the hot cruffins with melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the oozy, garlicky cheese layers.
