For the Garlic Butter Topping:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted – Creates a rich, buttery finish.

👨🍳 How to Make Quick & Cheesy Garlic Butter Rolls
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Take each piece of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly. Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella in the center of each piece and fold the edges up to seal the cheese inside, forming a ball.
Step 3: Arrange the Rolls
Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down in the baking dish, leaving a little space between each one so they can expand while baking.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning. Brush half of this mixture generously over the rolls.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a beautiful and delicious finish.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve these warm, cheesy, garlic butter rolls alongside pasta, soup, or any main dish, or just enjoy them on their own as a delicious snack!
🍽 Equipment Needed
