Ingredients
Creating these cruffins is an experience in itself, reminiscent of the times I spent learning from Mama Lou’s deft hands. Here’s what you’ll need:
– Store-bought or homemade croissant dough
– Fresh garlic cloves, minced
– Unsalted butter, softened
– Grated mozzarella cheese
– Grated parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, finely chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
These ingredients are a celebration of simplicity and quality. Mama Lou always said that great flavors start with the freshest ingredients. With these, you’re not just baking; you’re crafting a memory.
Instructions
Creating these cruffins is a joyous journey, one that brings back fond memories of my childhood. Follow these steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
2. Roll out the croissant dough on a floured surface, and spread a generous layer of softened butter over it.
3. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly across the dough, followed by a mix of grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
4. Roll the dough into a log, ensuring the cheese and garlic are evenly distributed.
5. Cut the log into equal sections, about 2 inches wide.
6. Gently twist each section and place it into the muffin tin, creating a spiral effect.
7. Brush the tops with any remaining butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Each step is a dance of flavors and aromas, culminating in the perfect bite. Just as Mama Lou taught us, take your time and enjoy the process.
