Instructions:
- Step 1: Preheat Oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the 8 biscuits. On a clean, lightly floured surface, gently press each biscuit into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick. Be careful not to stretch them too much, as over-stretching can make the baked dough tough.
- Step 3: Add the Cheese Sprinkle about 1–2 tablespoons of shredded sharp cheddar cheese onto the center of each flattened biscuit. If you’re using optional flavorings like garlic powder or dried herbs, sprinkle a small amount (e.g., 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per biscuit) over the cheese for enhanced flavor.
- Step 4: Roll Them Up Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the cheese, bringing them together to enclose the filling. Pinch the seams together firmly to seal the cheese inside, ensuring it doesn’t leak out during baking. Shape each roll into a neat ball by gently rolling it between your palms. Place the rolled balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for even baking.
- Step 5: Brush with Butter Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. This step helps them achieve a beautiful golden-brown color and adds an extra layer of richness to the crust.
- Step 6: Bake Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Step 7: Serve Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. If desired, brush with additional melted butter immediately after baking for extra shine and flavor, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt or Everything Bagel seasoning for an added savory touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Cheese Choices: While sharp cheddar is highly recommended for its robust flavor, feel free to experiment with other cheeses to suit your preference. Pepper jack will add a spicy kick, Gouda offers a nutty creaminess, and Monterey Jack melts beautifully.
- Herb Variations: Elevate the flavor profile by mixing in chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme with the cheese, or sprinkle them on top before baking for a more gourmet twist.
- Make Ahead: These rolls are great for preparing in advance. Assemble the rolls up to the point of baking, then cover the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from the fridge and bake as directed, possibly adding a minute or two to the baking time if they are very cold.
- Freezing: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool completely. Then, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid before transferring to an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 1-2 months. Reheat frozen rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through, or microwave briefly.
