Ingredients:
4-6 Croissants
Garlic Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp green onion, diced
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sugar
Garlic Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: To start, we’ll make the garlic butter that will add a rich, savory flavor to our croissants. In a small bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and set this mixture aside.
2. Make the Garlic Cream Cheese Filling: Next, let’s prepare the creamy, cheesy filling. In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, diced green onion, chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Once mixed, transfer the filling to a piping bag. TIP: No piping bag? No problem! Simply transfer the mixture to a ziplock plastic bag and cut the tip off one corner.
3. Prep the Croissants: Take your croissants and make 4-5 shallow cuts through each one, being careful not to cut all the way through. These cuts will hold the delicious filling.
4. Fill the Croissants: Using your piping bag (or ziplock bag), fill the cuts in each croissant with the garlic cream cheese filling. Be generous, as this filling is what makes these croissants irresistible.
5. Add the Garlic Butter: Brush the garlic butter generously over the top of each croissant. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese over the top to add a delightful cheesy crust.
6. Bake to Perfection: Place the filled and buttered croissants on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is melted and the tops are golden brown.
7. Finish and Serve: Once baked, brush on the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle a bit more parmesan cheese for good measure. Serve these croissants warm and enjoy every bite of this cheesy, garlicky delight!
