Cheese Rolls

These scratch made soft and buttery Cheese Rolls are a savory riff on cinnamon rolls. The homemade yeast dough is stuffed with a mouthwatering buttery cheddar cheese and green onion filling that takes them to another level.

Easy Cheese Rolls Recipe

The homemade dough for these savory cheese rolls is made completely from scratch. It’s made and rolled-up jelly roll style just like sweet cinnamon rolls. To make them you’ll need a stand mixer, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a cheese grater, a sharp knife and chopping board, a large non stick rolling surface and a 10 inch cast iron skillet or similar size oven safe skillet.

How to Make the Best Cheese Rolls Recipe

These homemade rolls are really indulgent in taste. You could make them smaller or appetizer size by rolling the dough and cutting it into smaller pieces.

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cheese Rolls recipe: Warm milk, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, large eggs, vegetable shortening and all purpose flour.
• For the filling you’ll need: Shredded sharp cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions or chives and garlic. You’ll also need softened butter for the filling and skillet and melted butter to brush the tops.
• These cheese rolls are special so I highly recommend taking a few minutes to grate the cheddar cheese fresh by hand. No bagged cheese.
• When chopping the green onions for the filling, think finely chopped, big pieces won’t work here.
• If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can go old school and knead the dough by hand on the counter. The same rule applies, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• Use a super sharp knife to cut the cheese rolls into rounds. If you use a dull knife, it will crush the dough while cutting.
• When arranging the rolls in the skillet, try for even spacing between each piece reshaping into rounds as needed. If you don’t they will bake wonky with some having more room than others to spread.
• You can make and assemble these rolls then place into the refrigerator overnight for the final rise. When doing so, give them 30 minutes or so on the counter to warm slightly prior to baking.
• Store leftover cheese rolls at room temperature or chilled for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in single serving portions.
• You can also freeze these Cheese Rolls for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and gently reheat in the microwave.
