I can’t lie. I definitely eat at least 3 of my garlic cheese stuffed rolls when I make them.  They are just so so good.  I add honey goat cheese, parmesan, and mozzarella to the inside of dough then I bake it up and coat with butter.

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.

Ingredients

For the Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz Montchevre Honey Goat Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp fresh basil chopped or 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese freshly shredded
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/3 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese

For the Garlic Butter

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 2 tsp garlic minced, about 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 tsp fresh herbs minced basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, or a combination
  • Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

For the Crescent Rolls

  • 16 oz refrigerated crescent rolls 2 cans

Instructions

For the Cheese Filling

  • Whisk together goat cheese, basil, parmesan cheese, salt and garlic powder until smooth.

For the Garlic Butter

  • Heat the butter and garlic together over medium heat.
  • Allow the butter and garlic to heat just until the garlic smells fragrant and begins to take on color.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the minced herbs.

For the Rolls

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F then grease the bottom of a cast iron skillet.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls and separate the triangles.
  • Add 1 tsp of previously made goat cheese filling to the center then add a small slice of mozzarella cheese on top.
  • To reroll the crescent rolls, roll the dough around the cheese, fold into a ball and place in the cast iron skillet.
  • Once all rolls are complete. Brush with some of the garlic herb butter and sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Once the rolls have finished baking, remove them from the oven and if desired, brush with garlic butter again and serve while hot so cheese melts.

Notes

Note: You can also make these as croissant rolls if you wish. Just roll the dough back into crescent shapes and bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper instead.
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.

  2. These look so yummy!! I can’t wait to make these for thanksgiving, but my only question is can I make them in a different pan other than a cast iron skillet?

  3. I am no baker, but these were so easy to make that I couldn’t resist trying the recipe. And I’m so happy I did! The buttery cheesyness of the rolls were perfect and something I plan to add to my holiday spread. My neighbors are big fans after I shared some with them. I had to share so I wouldn’t eat it all myself 🙂

    1. You can also just use plain goat cheese if you want. And you can also leave out but it does give it a little extra something.
