How to Make Cheesy Tomato Focaccia Rolls
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. Start by grabbing your trusty muffin tin and giving it a good spritz with cooking spray. Place one frozen dinner roll into each of the 12 cavities (I use Rhodes, but feel free to grab your favorite brand)
2. Now, this part requires a little patience—cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise for about 3 hours. It’s worth the wait, trust me!
3. Once your rolls have puffed up and are ready to go, preheat your oven to 350°F.
4. Slice your cherry tomatoes in half. These little beauties will add a burst of juicy flavor to each bite.
5. Now, let’s give these rolls their signature focaccia look! Press your fingers into each roll to create those classic focaccia dimples (it’s oddly satisfying, I promise).
6. Brush each roll with olive oil, then top with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Follow that with a pinch of oregano, and pop two tomato halves on top. They’ll look like adorable little focaccia bites just waiting to be devoured!
7. Transfer the muffin pan into your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The rolls should turn a beautiful golden brown, with the cheese melted and bubbly. Yum!
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes (if you can wait that long!). And there you have it! These cheesy tomato focaccia rolls are perfect as an appetizer, a side for pasta night, or even a mid-day snack. You can serve them warm or at room temperature or either way, they’re bound to disappear fast.
