Oh man… these Cheesy Garlic Golden Crumpets are basically little clouds of cheesy, garlicky heaven. Soft, pillowy crumpets get slathered in a rich garlic-parsley butter, topped with gooey melted cheese, and baked until bubbly and golden. Sprinkle a few fresh chives on top, maybe drizzle a touch of truffle oil if you’re feeling fancy, and boom! Snack time just got serious. Perfect for an indulgent breakfast, cozy brunch, or side that’ll have everyone fighting for seconds.

Notes
Chef’s Tips
- Lightly toast the crumpets first if you want a crispier base.
- Freshly grated cheese melts better and gives a gooier top.
- Season lightly, the cheese and butter bring plenty of salt.
- For a pop of color, finish with chives or a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Oven: 325°F (160°C) for 5–8 minutes until warm and lightly crisp again.
- Air Fryer: 325°F (160°C) for 3–4 minutes (they crisp beautifully).
- Avoid microwaving — it makes the crumpets tough and the cheese rubbery.
