If there is one thing I truly can’t resist, it’s bread. Hand over a basket of warm, freshly baked and soon-to-be-heavily-buttered bread, and I’m one happy mama. During the holidays and on special occasions, I dedicate a bit of extra time to make my Big Mama’s homemade dinner rolls but, y’all, that takes time. When I’m hankering for a fluffy, pillowy bite of baked dough, I don’t always want to spend hours nursing flour, yeast and milk. Sometimes a girl needs something simple.

So today, when I was struck with a craving I couldn’t ignore, I decided to pull together one of my favorite recipes: Garlic Cheese Stuffed Rolls. Made with store-bought crescent roll dough and a creamy cheese filling, these garlicky, sweet rolls couldn’t be easier to make!

Ingredients

From start to finish, these rolls can be made in less than 30 minutes! No need for sticky dough or resting periods, just buttery rolls filled with simple, sweet cheese. Okay, my mouth is watering.

Here’s what’s going down today:

  • Montchevre Honey Goat Cheese– tangy and unique, honey goat cheese adds creamy texture and a subtle sweetness.
  • Mozzarella– mild and sweet, mozzarella doesn’t overpower these rolls. They also make for that glorious cheese pull just like in amazing Mozzarella Sticks,
  • Parmesan Cheese– what’s garlic bread without salty, nutty parmesan?
  • Basil– this pungent herb is fresh, sweet and peppery which cuts through the heavy cheese. It’s just the right *pop* of flavor.
  • Garlic Powder & Salt– they go together like peanut butter and jelly y’all! Just a couple pinches and you’re on your way to well-seasoned bread.
  • Crescent Rolls– these are an incredible option for saving time while still getting delicious results! If preferred, they can easily be substituted with your favorite homemade dinner roll recipe.
  • Salted Butter– I prefer my garlic bread/cheesy rolls to be a bit on the saltier side. Unsalted butter works too.
  • Minced Garlic– be sure to mince very finely!
  • Mixed Herbs– a great opportunity to use up any leftover herbs you’ve got. Any herb will introduce aroma and brightness to the rolls.

How to Make Cheese Stuffed Rolls

1. Prepping the Cheese Filling:

  • In a bowl, go to town whisking together that goat cheese, basil, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder until you’ve got yourself a smooth, tempting cheese haven.

2. Crafting the Garlic Butter:

  • Heat your butter and garlic together over medium heat, and wait for that moment when the garlic starts singing its fragrant tune and getting golden.
  • Kill the heat and stir in those glorious minced herbs.

3. Assembling the Rolls:

  • Kickstart your oven to 375 degrees F and show some love to your cast iron skillet with a bit of greasing.
  • Unroll those crescent rolls, separate the triangles, and get ready for the fun part!
  • Drop a teasing tsp of your artisanal goat cheese mix onto the center, followed by a cozy blanket of mozzarella.
  • Time to get rolling! Wrap that dough around the cheese, craft it into a snug ball, and let it nestle up with its buddies in the skillet.
  • Brush those beauties with your gourmet garlic herb butter and shower with shredded parmesan like it’s confetti.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until you’ve reached that golden brown nirvana.

4. The Grand Finale:

  • Pull those golden treasures out of the oven, give them another loving brush of garlic butter if your heart desires, and serve them up hot and melty.

Leftover Storage and Reheating

This garlic cheese stuffed rolls recipe doesn’t need to be refrigerated, doing so will only cause the bread to go soggy or stale (or an odd mixture of both). Instead, just keep any leftover rolls in an air-tight bag or container (at room temperature). Just be sure to keep an eye out for any moldy cheese.

To reheat garlic cheese stuffed rolls:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, wrap each leftover roll in a single sheet of aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

  1. Just inhaled a couple of these deceptively easy but incredibly special tasting rolls! My entire family enjoyed them so much. I used your shut cut with crescent rolls, using one can and cutting the recipe in half. Mixed a tablespoon of goat cheese, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 2 tablespoons shredded bagged mozzarella, 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan along with the herbs and garlic as directed. Probably not the same luxurious taste as your original recipe but very tasty with great cheese pull! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I really want to make these but we don’t have goat cheese where I live. Is there a substitute like maybe cream cheese?

  3. Got any cheese! I love all things cheese. I haven’t made this recipe yet but I’m giving it five stars. I’m wanting to know what would you pair with these rolls?

  4. I really really need to make these but we don’t have crescent dough in Australia and was wondering if there is another way to make these? Thank you 🙂
