Stuffed Cheesy Pesto Rolls

It’s time to talk about some carbs today, friends!

After all, carbs are never a bad thing, right?

I’m a sucker for warm, soft, garlic-y, herb-y bread. You know, the Olive Garden type bread sticks, rolls straight from the oven, that sort of thing. There’s just nothing better in my book!

And when my cravings hit, you better believe that I’m allll about the bread. Or rolls, in this case.

And pesto. Let’s not forget about the pesto! From this Easy Basil Pesto, to that Basil Pesto Pasta with Broccoli and Mushrooms, this Pesto Tortellini Bake, and that Quinoa and Chickpea Pesto Salad, I love it all. I have a soft spot for pesto and try to incorporate it into as many dishes as I can.

If you love pesto and cheese, then you’ve got to try these easy and oh-so cheesy rolls. They’re bursting with deliciousness and so easy to make. Because remember, I’m all about the easy recipes here on Pumpkin ‘N Spice!

Now, I know pesto rolls aren’t necessarily anything new, but I just had to try them. And I got the inspiration from these Stuffed Pizza Rolls that I made a few years ago. While the pictures definitely need an update (see how far I’ve come in blogging photography?!), the recipe still remains just as delicious.

Crispy on the outsize and oozing with flavor on the inside, this simple roll is sure to wow even the pickiest of eaters!

I used a pre-made biscuit dough, some store-bought pesto (although you could easily make my Basil Pesto Sauce for these babies), and some mozzarella pearls and spices. Easy peasy and oh-so good! In about 20 minutes, these rolls will be piping hot and ready to be devoured.

And the best part? These stuffed rolls make a delicious appetizer, side dish, or late night snack. Pesto and cheese were made for each other, especially when combined in a flaky and buttery biscuit. Mmm mmm good!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 8 rolls
Calories 368kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16.3 ounce) refrigerated biscuits
  • ½ cup prepared pesto sauce
  • 8 mozzarella pearls
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a casserole dish or 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Flatten each biscuit with the palm of your hand (or rolling pin). Spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto sauce onto the center of each biscuit, followed by one mozzarella pearl.
  • Working one at a time, pinch the sides of the roll upwards to seal the dough, and then roll into a ball. Place into prepared dish. Repeat with each remaining biscuit.
  • Combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Lightly brush the butter mixture on top of each roll. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the tops.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls start to brown and the tops are firm. Remove from oven and let cool. Serve with pizza sauce, if desired.

    Refrigerated biscuit dough is like magic! 🙂 So versatile, and so good! You’ve basically combined all of my kids’ favorite ingredients into one garlicky and cheesy carb-tastic comfort food. These look awesome, Gayle!

    Any day that involves carbs is a good day if you ask me and you really can’t beat that store bought dough – so convenient! And you know what? I just happen to have the ingredients to make these babies! Woot woot! It’s a holiday here and raining and this would be perfect to have! Honestly, if it were sunny, they still would be perfect cause cheese and carbs 😉 Pinned! Cheers to an awesome week, my friend!

    Carbs are totally never a bad thing! Especially on a Monday, G. 😉 Love anything stuffed with anything (think brownies stuffed with PB cups, cookies stuffed with caramel)–it’s all good to me! Love how wonderfully golden and just perfectly stuffed these are! I know my sister would just love this! She’s a huge fan of stuffed garlic knots. Pinned, of course! Happy Monday, my friend. 🙂
