🛒 Ingredients

For the Rolls:

  • 12 dinner rolls or soft yeast rolls (thawed if frozen)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Spinach-Cheddar Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed and drained)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a mild kick)


🍽️ Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2️⃣ Make the Filling

  1. If using fresh spinach, sauté in a small pan with a drizzle of olive oil until wilted. Drain excess liquid.

  2. In a bowl, combine spinach, shredded cheddar, cream cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix until creamy and well blended.

3️⃣ Stuff the Rolls

  1. Slice each dinner roll in half horizontally, without separating completely.

  2. Spoon the spinach-cheese mixture generously onto the bottom half of each roll.

  3. Close the rolls, pressing gently to secure the filling inside.

4️⃣ Add Garlic Butter

  1. Melt butter in a small pan and stir in minced garlic.

  2. Brush the tops of the stuffed rolls generously with the garlic butter. This adds extra flavor and a beautiful golden finish.

5️⃣ Bake

Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
