Cheesy Garlic Cruffin

INGREDIENTS:

Dough
3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
Filling
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Garlic Butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Filling
In a medium bowl combine butter, chives, and garlic.
Spread about ⅓ of the butter mixture over the top of one sheet of dough.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheddar cheese evenly over the butter mixture.
Starting on the long end of the dough sheet, tightly roll it up into a log.
Cut the log in half, creating two shorter logs.
Cut each of those shorter logs in half lengthwise, giving you four sections of dough.
Repeat with the remaining two sheets of dough. You will have 12 sections of dough.
Working one section of dough at a time with the layered side facing out, roll it tightly into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking in the end piece of dough …
