Garlic bread is one of life’s greatest pleasures. And if you agree, then we’re on the same page! But have you ever thought about how to make it even better? Well, we have the answer: Stuffed Garlic Cream Cheese Rolls. These rolls take the classic garlic bread to a whole new level with the addition of creamy cheese filling. Get ready to indulge in the richness of cream cheese, the ooey goodness of mozzarella, and the perfect blend of buttery herb flavors. This delectable side dish is truly a dream come true. Let’s dive into how they’re made!
To start, lightly grease a 9×13-inch dish with butter. Then, separate the Hawaiian rolls and make a small “X” on the top of each roll. Use a spoon handle or a similar utensil to widen the “X” and create space for the creamy garlic filling. Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking sheet and let’s move on to the filling.
The filling for these rolls is incredibly simple yet irresistibly tasty. It consists of a mixture of cream cheese, mozzarella, and fresh minced garlic. Once everything is thoroughly combined, pipe the filling into each roll until they are full to the brim. Finally, pour a simple garlic butter sauce over the top and into the oven they go for about 12 minutes. The best part? The incredible aroma that will fill your home while they’re baking. Get ready to be amazed!
Time-Saving Tip
To save time, you can prepare the garlic cream cheese filling ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to use it. This way, you can have these delicious rolls on the table in no time!
Recipe
Garlic Cream Cheese Rolls
Makes 12 rolls
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 package classic Hawaiian rolls
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 7×11-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Separate the rolls and cut an “X” into the top of each one, being careful not to cut through the bottom. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to widen the hole, creating space for the filling. Arrange the rolls evenly in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella, minced garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Starting at the base of the hole, fill each roll to the top with the cheese mixture. Alternatively, you can spoon the filling into the rolls, but we find that the bag method works best.
- In another small bowl, mix together the remaining melted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Pour the butter mixture over the rolls.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
