Ingredients

  • 6 crusty bread rolls Note
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 mozzarella balls
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 5 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • fine salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut 6 pieces of aluminum foil large enough for you to be able to loosely pack the bread rolls in the foil.
  • Cut diamond shapes into the bread rolls, but do not cut them all the way through.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a small bowl and lightly brush between the cuts in the rolls. They don't have to be soaked in oil, just a few fine strokes between the cuts should be enough.
  • Grate the mozzarella on the rough grater and add it to a bowl. Grate the garlic cloves through a fine grater and add them to the bowl as well. Chop the fresh parsley finely. Add to the cheese bowl together with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 heaps, I feel that helps when deciding how much filling comes into each bread roll. Stuff the rolls with the help of a teaspoon or with your fingers.
  • Wrap each bread roll in a piece of aluminum foil. Make sure that the rolls are only loosely wrapped, meaning that the foil doesn't touch the top of the rolls where the cheese is. Otherwise, the melting cheese will stick to the foil.
  • Place on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil from the rolls and bake them for further 5 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted and the tops of the rolls are crispy and golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with a salad or as a side dish for grilled meats and vegetables.
