Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves Additional garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup Mild cheddar cheese, shredded (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or follow package instructions for the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, chopped chives, minced garlic, and 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese to create a flavorful filling.
- Cut Crescent Dough: Carefully unroll both crescent roll sheets and cut each sheet into equal-sized triangles for filling.
- Fill and Roll: Spoon a generous amount of the cheese and garlic filling onto the wider end of each crescent triangle, then roll them up tightly towards the point.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the rolled crescent bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have a little space to expand.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a separate small bowl, combine the melted butter, additional minced garlic, chopped chives, and kosher salt.
- Brush Topping: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each rolled crescent bite to add moisture and flavor.
- Add Cheese on Top: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the crescent rolls.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the croffins are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly and enjoy these cheesy, garlicky treats warm as a perfect snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the butter used in the filling is softened for easy mixing.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preferred intensity of garlic flavor.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- These croffins are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven.
- You can substitute mild cheddar cheese with other cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
