Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 fresh dinner rolls
- 8 bacon strips
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon: Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease, then crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the rolls: Carefully cut a pocket into each dinner roll without slicing all the way through, creating space to stuff the fillings inside.
- Stuff the rolls: Fill each roll with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese, then add the crispy bacon pieces, making sure to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Brush with butter and seasoning: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and gently brush it over the tops of the stuffed rolls to add moisture and flavor.
- Bake to perfection: Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- Use quality thick-cut bacon for better crunch and richer flavor.
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent spilling during baking.
- Allow shredded cheese to come to room temperature for optimal melting.
- Use fresh dinner rolls to keep the snack soft and moist inside while baking.
- Try blending cheddar with mozzarella for a balance of flavor and stretchiness.
