Ingredients
  • 1 pound Bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter

Preparing the Dough

If using store-bought dough, let it thaw according to package instructions. If making your own dough, prepare it according to your favorite recipe. Once the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Making the Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. This is your flavorful cheese filling.

Assembling the Rolls

Divide the bread dough into 12 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each piece of dough into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Shape the filled dough into a roll.

Baking the Rolls

Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. The cheese filling should be melted and bubbly.

Serving

Remove the baked rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture. These garlic herb cheese stuffed bread rolls are a delicious and satisfying appetizer that everyone will love.
