Garlic Butter Cruffins
Yield 8 cruffins
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, very soft
2-4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper (optional)
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons melted butter, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease or line 8 cups of a 12-cavity muffin pan.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined. The butter should be smooth and spreadable.
Roll out one of the puff pastry sheets to a rectangle about 10” x 12” and 1/8-inch thick. (Keep the other sheet refrigerated.)
Spread half of the garlic butter mixture in a thin, even layer over the surface of the pastry.
Starting from a long end, roll the pastry tightly. Cut in half to make two equal size logs, and then cut each of those in half lengthwise.
Shape each portion into a coil. (You can wrap around your finger for easy shaping.) Place in the prepared pan and refrigerate while you repeat with the remaining puff pastry.*
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack. If you like, brush the tops of the cruffins with melted butter
Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and then remove the cruffins from the pan and place on a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
*If your kitchen is warm or it takes you a while to prep the cruffins, place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes before baking.

Variations:
Add herbs. Mix fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil into the garlic butter for an extra layer of flavor. Dried herbs will work, too—just use a smaller amount.
Spice it up. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter for a subtle heat.
Make them cheesy. After baking your garlic butter cruffins, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cruffins while they’re still warm. This will add a crispy, cheesy crust.
Add everything! Sprinkle the tops with “everything bagel seasoning” before baking for added flavor and texture.
