Baked Cheese Rolls

Halved rolls topped with grated Gouda, chives and paprika powder, baked golden brown under the broiler.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 4 soft rolls
• 200 g grated cheese (mild, e.g. Gouda)
• 100 g sour cream
• 1/2 bunch chives
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• 20 g soft butter
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C top/bottom heat and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Halve the rolls horizontally and spread the cut sides thinly with the soft butter.
3. Beat the sour cream with the paprika powder, salt and pepper until smooth and mix in half of the finely chopped chives.
4. Spread the sour cream mixture on the roll halves and pile the grated cheese generously on top, covering the edges too.
5. Bake the rolls for 10–12 min. until the cheese has fully melted and browns in bubbles at the edges.
6. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and serve immediately, hot, while the cheese still stretches.
