Notes

  • Dough Choice: Crescent roll dough is easiest, but puff pastry works for extra flakiness.
  • Extra Buttery: Brush more garlic butter on top after baking for extra flavor.
  • Cheese Variations: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, or Swiss.
  • Spicy Cheesy Cruffins: Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
  • Herb & Garlic Cruffins: Mix in chopped fresh basil or rosemary.
  • Bacon Cheesy Cruffins: Sprinkle crispy bacon bits over the cheese before rolling.
  • Stuffed Cruffins: Place a small cube of cream cheese in the center before rolling.
