Ingredients
- 6 croissants
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the croissants.
- Prepare Croissants: Slice the croissants in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet with the cut side facing up to ensure even cooking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Brush Croissants: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of each croissant to infuse them with rich flavor.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered surfaces of the croissants for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Garnish: Remove the croissants from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Serve: Serve the buttery garlic baked croissants warm to enjoy their full flavor and flaky texture.
Notes
- Ensure the croissants are fresh or slightly stale for best texture after baking.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil for 1-2 minutes after baking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe works well as a side for soups or salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to revive crispiness.
