Cheddar Cheese Rolls
These cheddar cheese filled rolls have become an absolute favorite. They are great along side a salad, pasta, omelets or on their own. The rolls are soft and slightly sweet which makes the Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar cheese the perfect filling. They’re topped with a garlic butter. It is important to grate your garlic very finely, as the garlic butter is brushed on after baking.
These rolls keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days and can be frozen for a few months. Simply reheat in the oven.
Some tips: For this recipe, the yeast is not activated prior to mixing, so it is important to use rapid rise. Add the flour slowly and mix until a soft dough forms.
