-Kelly
In 2022, I created the ultimate cheesy dinner roll for the holiday season, and they went viral! Over half a million social views later, it turns out that I made THE BEST ROLLS EVER with just 5 ingredients!
These rolls seriously couldn’t be easier to make and they couldn’t be more delicious! A tasty mix of Italian herbs, tossed with butter and sharp cheddar, give these rolls the most flavor, and they pair well with almost every meal.
I’ve served them with tomato soup, BBQ pork, spaghetti and meatballs, Thanksgiving dinner, and Christmas dinner. They’re easy enough to make, that I get my nieces involved to toss them together every year at the holidays!
Needless to say, these pull apart rolls are a MUST-MAKE for the holiday season and beyond!
Ingredients
- Refrigerated canned biscuits – any 16 ounce can of unflavored biscuits will work for this recipe.
- Unsalted butter – if you only have salted butter available, omit the added salt in this recipe.
- Extra sharp cheddar cheese – the rich, creamy, bold taste of extra-sharp cheddar adds so much flavor to these rolls. You’ll need 1 1/4 cups grated cheddar for this recipe. An 8 ounce block, once shredded, will give you approximately 2 cups of cheese.
- Italian seasoning – in addition to the cheese, this is what gives the rolls it’s signature herb-forward flavor. I used my homemade seasoning mix, linked to the left, that contains 7 herbs and spices, including minced garlic, which pairs perfectly with the cheddar in this recipe. (These rolls will definitely remind you of the flavor of cheddar bay biscuits!) You can also purchase pre-made Italian seasoning at the grocery store, just make sure that it contains garlic.
- Salt – I recommend kosher salt or sea salt for the best flavor.
Instructions

- Stir to combine the melted butter, cheese and herbs. Add the pieces of biscuit dough to this mixture and toss until they’re completely coated.
- Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, then divide the seasoned, buttery, cheesy biscuit dough pieces between each of the compartments in the muffin tin. You’ll want approximately 6 pieces in each hole of the muffin tin. Sprinkle approximately one teaspoon of additional shredded cheddar on top of each roll. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

So delicious! I made these for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. I doubled the recipe but did not double the amount of Italian seasoning and they were perfect.
These are sooo delish! My new fave! Do you have any tips on mixing the roll pieces with the butter/cheese mix? If you allow the cheese to melt, it all globs together.
I’m thinking the rolls need to be mixed into the butter mixture before the cheese completely melts? Or might try adding the cheese by hand after rolls are buttered. Thanks!
