Cheddar Cheese Rolls
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese onto each flattened biscuit.
Roll each biscuit up into a log, pinching the edges to seal in the cheese.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the tops of the rolls.
Sprinkle dried parsley over the rolls for a touch of color and flavor, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese before rolling. You can also experiment with different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a sweeter roll, try using a cinnamon-sugar mixture instead of cheese and butter for a delightful breakfast treat. For a more savory option, add cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions to the cheese filling. These rolls are quite forgiving, so feel free to get creative with your favorite ingredients.
