Cheesy Garlic Skillet Rolls are stuffed with mozzarella cheese and coated in butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic plus a few crushed red pepper flakes and parsley. Rolls don’t get any better than these! So much buttery, garlicky, cheesy goodness!
Frozen Yeast Rolls
To start with, I use frozen yeast rolls. Any brand of frozen dinner roll dough will do, but you want to use the ones that come loose in a bag. Not the ones in a foil tray. Rhodes is a good brand and I used Bridgford for these.
Thaw The Dough
You either need to let them thaw on the counter which will take about 4 hours, or better yet, just stick them in the fridge the night before and they’ll be ready the next day.
Mozzarella Cheese
These rolls are super easy to stuff with mozzarella using mozzarella sticks. Cut each stick in 4 pieces and wrap a piece of dough around each one, sealing them the best you can and placing them seam side down in a 12-inch cast iron pan.
Recommended Equipment
Cast iron is best for these Cheesy Garlic Skillet Rolls because it retains heat so well, but you could use a 9×13-inch baking dish instead. I love this 12-inch cast iron pan.
Once the rolls are stuffed and shaped, they need to rise about 60 to 90 minutes. More mozzarella cheese gets tucked between the rolls and they are baked for 10 minutes.
Next they are liberally coated with melted butter, garlic, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, plus Parmesan cheese and parsley. Then they are popped back into the oven until golden on top.
These rolls are so fabulously delicious, it won’t even matter what you serve them with. All attention will be on these Cheesy Garlic Skillet Rolls!
