Easy Cheddar Cheese Rolls
Servings: About 12 rolls
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Total Time: 27–30 minutes
Ingredients
For the Rolls:
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or more for extra cheesiness!)
2 tablespoons melted butter
Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or dried herbs (e.g., parsley, oregano) for added flavor
For Serving:
Additional melted butter (optional, for brushing after baking)
Coarse sea salt or Everything Bagel seasoning (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
On a clean surface, gently press each biscuit into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick. Be careful not to stretch them too much, as this can make the dough tough.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Sprinkle about 1–2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of each flattened biscuit. If using garlic powder or herbs, sprinkle a small amount over the cheese for enhanced flavor.
Step 4: Roll Them Up
Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, pinching the seams together to seal the cheese inside. Shape each roll into a ball by rolling it between your palms.
Place the rolled balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 5: Brush with Butter
Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. This will help them brown beautifully and add extra richness.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Serve
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt or Everything Bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Success
Cheese Choices: While sharp cheddar is recommended for its bold flavor, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack, Gouda, or Monterey Jack for variety.
Herb Variations: Mix in chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a gourmet twist.
Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls up to the point of baking, then cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Simply bake when ready!
Freezing: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool completely before freezing in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or microwave when needed.
