- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
Preparation Ingredient:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare oven to 375°F and coat muffin tin with light grease for optimal pastry release.
- Gently unfurl puff pastry on flour-dusted workspace, smoothing surface to create even texture.
- Apply melted butter across pastry sheet using soft pastry brush, creating uniform golden foundation.
- Distribute minced garlic evenly, ensuring delicate flavor penetrates entire pastry surface.
- Generously scatter mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, complementing with aromatic oregano and fresh parsley.
- Season mixture with subtle salt and pepper for enhanced taste profile.
- Carefully roll pastry into tight cylindrical log, maintaining consistent pressure and shape.
- Slice log into 8 uniform segments, revealing intricate layered cheese and herb interior.
- Position each segment cut-side upward in prepared muffin cavities, allowing visible cheese layers to peek through.
- Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until pastries transform into puffy, golden-brown delicacies.
- Allow cruffins to rest momentarily after baking, then gently extract from tin.
- Serve immediately while warm to experience maximum flavor and crispy texture.
Notes
- Customize the cheese blend by mixing different varieties like sharp cheddar or gruyere for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Use cold butter and keep pastry chilled to ensure maximum flakiness and crisp layers during baking.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular puff pastry with gluten-free alternatives, which work equally well for this recipe.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by placing muffin tin on lower oven rack and ensuring pastry is rolled thinly and evenly before filling.
