- 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 arrange them on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up.
- Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper thoroughly.
- Apply Butter Mixture: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of each croissant to ensure full flavor.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered croissant halves for a rich, savory topping.
- Bake Croissants: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish: Remove the croissants from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
- Serve: Serve the garlic baked croissants warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the croissants for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh croissants for optimal texture; day-old croissants can also work but may be less flaky.
- Leftover croissants can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best results.
