Stuffed Cheesy Bread Rolls
I’ve always said I can make a meal out of appetizers, and who needs dinner when you’ve got this as an appetizer? Everyone loves these cheesy bread bites! They are great for get-togethers and game day parties.
Or make them to serve alongside an easy weeknight chicken recipe and you’re going to make the whole family smile.
This stuffed cheesy bread recipe is the fastest and easiest of all of my bread recipes because there’s no yeast, no kneading, and no waiting for dough to rise.
How, you ask?
I got creative and used a tube of pre-made biscuit dough. Biscuit dough is sold in tubes or cans in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
There’s nothing better than diving into soft, warm, buttery bread fresh from the oven. Except when it’s stuffed with cheese. Cheese trumps all.
Stuffed Cheese Bread Ingredients
To make this cheese stuffed bread recipe, you’ll need:
- Refrigerated biscuit dough
- Mozzarella cheese
- Unsalted butter
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Fresh parsley
Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.
How to Make Stuffed Cheesy Bread
Simply do the following:
- Pop open a can of refrigerated biscuit dough.
- Break it into pieces.
- Stuff a piece of cheese inside.
- And bake for 10 minutes.
- While the bread bakes, melt some butter and spike it with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
- Brush it on generously as soon as the bread emerges from the oven.
Soft, warm, buttery, cheesy, gooey, heavenly!
Recipe Tips
These stuffed biscuits are easiest to make with cubed cheese rather than shredded. You can buy a block of cheese and cut it into cubes yourself.
You’re welcome to change up the seasonings used in the butter mixture. I prefer the Italian seasoning blend, but biscuits and cheese pair nicely with just about anything.
Recipe FAQs
Of course! I used mozzarella, but you can use cheddar or diced string cheese segments.
I use one 16.3-ounce tube Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin’ Biscuits to make this recipe, which contains 8 biscuits. Use your favorite pre-made biscuit dough of choice.
Yes, you should be fine to stuff the biscuits with cheese, form them into balls, and then layer into a standard sized loaf pan or small Bundt pan (greased well with non-stick spray). You’ll have to experiment with the bake time, however. You can try using my pull-apart stuffing ring as a jumping off point since it’s also made with canned biscuit dough.
These stuffed cheesy bread rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You may be able to cover them tightly in aluminum foil to trap the heat in if you plan on serving them later, but fresh is best.

Stuffed Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 1 tube, about 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough (I used one 16.3-ounce tube Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin’ Biscuits which contains 8 biscuits)
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into eight 1-inch square cubes (cheddar cheese or diced string cheese may be substituted)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Separate biscuits and put 1 cheese cube into the center of each biscuit, wrap the dough around the cheese, seal, and place on baking sheet with the seam side down. Repeat until all dough and cheese is used.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until very lightly golden browned; watch them closely in the last minutes of baking because they can go from un-done to over-done in less than a minute. While biscuits bake, prepare the butter mixture.
- To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and stir to combine.
- As soon as biscuits emerge from oven, generously brush each one with the butter mixture, optionally garnish with parsley, and serve immediately. Biscuits are best warm and fresh.

I just have to try these!
Averie, this looks craaaaaazy delicious. I could eat bread and cheese all the time :P
Couldn’t we all :)
Jon came home from work early and was ready to eat….he grilled, I baked these and we were happy in no time. I think a cheese stuffed biscuit is just a crazy good idea and we both adored them! The Italian seasoned butter is the perfect finishing touch. These would make great party food too!
So glad you guys enjoyed these and yes I can see them disappearing fast at a party! Hope you guys have a nice weekend!
Seriously, is there anything better than cheese and bread? Okay, well maybe peanut butter and chocolate, but cheese and bread come in at a close second! :) These look wonderful, Averie, and I love that they’re so easy to make! Thanks for the recipe!
Could these be made with leftover/extra pizza dough?
I haven’t tried it that way so I can’t say for sure but you’d probably be ok.
I can imagine that these would be great when served with some simple marinara. Yum!!!
I’m having houseguests this weekend & will definitely make these. They look delicious!
Hi ! This looks absolutely amazing !!! Recently I tried a brazilian recipe of pan de quejo, I did not know I could also make some approaching recipe with mozzarella, I will try it over the weekend.
Thank you so much for the recipe :)
Mmmm that homemade bread sounds great and I hope you enjoy this recipe!
This would make me a hero with my kids …
These look super delicious! I dated a brazillian guy in college and these look just like a cheesy bread that his mom used to make all the time!

You’re the second person who’s mentioned Brazilian bread in the comments…there’s evidently a cheesy Brazilian bread that I do need to try now!
These look so amazing! I agree, who needs dinner when you have appetizers!
As much as I love homemade stuff, I am completely fine taking the short way and use some delicious, butter Pillsbury dough, that stuff is a classic, that is so versatile and so many delicious things can be made with it, I love the ocean of cheese you have going on here, buttery, cheesy, what else can I ask for?! Maybe one of your crazy good cocktails on the side, yes please!
Sometimes shortcuts are the total lifesavers and heroes in my day :)
Such a genius idea to use the grands!! Oh my, this is so easy it’s dangerous!
Beyond dangerous! :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Cheese DEFINITELY does trump ALL. Especially when it’s stuffed inside soft bites of carby-delicious perfection.
Is it weird that I want this bomb bread for breakfast?! I’m going with it. Pinned!
Cheese trumps all for sure! Thanks for pinning!
I have always liked the texture of biscuits so adding cheese is just a huge bonus. I always hear raves about the garlic cheese biscuits at a couple of different chain restaurants but yours look even better! I know Jon would love these .
LMK if you try them…I have a feeling Jon would adore them :)
