Oven: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly so the dough can puff and brown properly. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a little cheese begins to bubble from the edges. The aroma of buttery garlic and toasted Parmesan will fill your kitchen.
Air fryer: Place the rolls in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they aren’t touching. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning. The air fryer version gives a slightly crisper crust while keeping the centers deliciously soft and gooey.
6. Serve Hot
Once baked, allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving—they’ll be piping hot inside. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as honey mustard, marinara, or ranch dressing. The melted cheese combined with salty ham and buttery garlic topping makes these rolls an instant favorite for any occasion.
Tips
- To keep the cheese from oozing out too much, pinch the dough edges tightly before baking or air frying.
- For a smoky twist, use smoked ham or add a sprinkle of paprika to the butter mixture.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven or air fryer for 3–5 minutes to restore their crispness.
- Serve them as appetizers, snacks, or even breakfast on-the-go—they pair wonderfully with coffee or fresh fruit.
