Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 (8-ounce) tubes crescent roll dough
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (75 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Herb and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Create a zesty butter blend by mixing softened butter with finely minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Set aside 1/4 cup of this aromatic mixture for later brushing.
- Carefully unfurl crescent roll dough sheets and use a rolling pin to smooth out perforated lines, creating uniform rectangular surfaces.
- Delicately spread the herbed butter across each rectangle, ensuring even coverage, then generously dust with grated Parmesan cheese.
- From the long edge, tightly roll each dough sheet into a compact log. Slice each log into halves, then split those segments lengthwise to reveal intricate interior layers.
- Artfully wrap each dough piece around your finger, forming elegant muffin shapes with layered sides facing outward. Gently nestle these into prepared muffin cavities.
- Warm the reserved butter mixture and lavishly brush across cruffin tops. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese for additional flavor and visual appeal.
- Rotate the pan midway through baking to ensure uniform golden coloration. Bake for 20-25 minutes until surfaces achieve a rich, appetizing bronze hue.
- Once removed from the oven, transfer cruffins to a cooling rack, allowing them to rest briefly before serving warm or at ambient temperature.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easy mixing and spreading, ensuring smooth integration with garlic and herbs.
- Seal crescent roll perforations completely to prevent butter leakage during baking and maintain layered structure.
- For extra flavor, add dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the butter mixture for deeper aromatic profile.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or homemade gluten-free dough.
