Description
Quick and easy focaccia-inspired muffins made from frozen dinner rolls, topped with Mediterranean ingredients like olives, tomatoes, and feta, perfect for a flavorful side dish or snack.
Ingredients
- Dough:
- 12 frozen dinner rolls
- Toppings:
- Cherry tomatoes (sliced, to taste)
- Black olives (sliced, to taste)
- Green olives (sliced, to taste)
- Feta cheese (crumbled, to taste)
- 6 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
- Dash of salt
- 12 teaspoons olive oil (for drizzling before toppings)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Place one frozen dinner roll into each muffin cup of an ungreased muffin tin. Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for approximately 6 hours (or as per the package instructions) until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, gently press down on each risen roll using your fingertips to create several indents on the surface, similar to the appearance of focaccia bread.
- Add Olive Oil: Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil generously over each roll, making sure the oil fills the indents created on the dough.
- Add Toppings: Add your desired toppings to each roll, filling the indents with cherry tomatoes, black olives, green olives, crumbled feta, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and a dash of salt.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the toppings to your taste, such as adding roasted garlic or fresh basil.
- For extra crispness, drizzle a little more olive oil just before baking.
- These muffins can be served as a side dish or snack for gatherings.
