Snack For Cocktails
Delicious cheese-filled bread rolls with fresh parsley and Worcestershire flavor, perfect as a savory snack for cocktails or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine grated cheese, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise to make the filling mixture.
- Cut crusts from bread slices.
- Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin.
- Spread the cheese mixture over each flattened slice.
- Roll each slice from corner to corner and secure with a toothpick.
- Bake in a 400°F oven on a baking sheet until cheese is melted and rolls are browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or diced jalapeños to the cheese mixture. If you're out of mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt can be a great substitute. For a vegan version, try using plant-based cheese and a vegan mayo. Remember to roll the bread tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cheesy rolls are perfect as a cocktail party snack or appetizer. Serve them alongside a refreshing drink or pair with a light salad for a complete offering. They also make a great companion to hearty dishes like the Holiday Twistys, providing a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the rolls a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Bake them right before your guests arrive for the best flavor and texture.
What can I use instead of Tillamook cheese?
While Tillamook cheese adds a rich flavor, you can substitute it with any good melting cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a mix of cheeses for added depth. Just ensure the cheese is finely grated for easy spreading.
How do I make these rolls more appealing for guests?
Consider garnishing the baked rolls with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or serve them with a dipping sauce like marinara or a spicy mustard. This adds a pop of color and extra flavor, making them more enticing for your guests.
