Difficulty: Intermediate
Gooey fondue cheese and herb filled petals make up an irresistible side dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
7 Rhodes White Dinner Rolls, dough thawed to room temperature
4 oz fontina, cubed at 1/4 inch
4 oz havarti, cubed at 1/4 inch
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Cut one roll into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 3×1 inch strip and arrange like flower petals on a sprayed baking pan leaving a 2 inch circle in the center of them. Roll one roll out into a 8 inch rope. Loop the rope and put the pinched ends together in the center and arrange the loop around one of the flat 3×1 inch strips, pinch the tip of the rope to create a flower petal. Repeat with remaining rolls. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes. While rising, combine cheeses, rosemary, thyme and garlic in a bowl and mix to coat the cheese.
Remove plastic wrap and evenly distribute the cheese mixture among the petals and cover the center of the flower with some of the cheese mixture as well. Brush with melted butter and bake at 350ºF for 25-30 minutes or until bread is golden and cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven. Serve warm.

Wow, does this look good. I don’t like thyme so i will omit that. What about a touch of dry white wine, like in a regular fondue? I have to try this.

I can’t figure out how to use the dough. The instructions don’t make sense to me. Is there a video?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for your question! No, unfortunately there is not a video with this recipe. I will contact the baking department and see if they can do a video to attach to this recipe. I think the best way to help you is to have you call one of our baking experts in our Customer Satisfaction department and have them explain it to you or help you with the instructions.

Sorry that it seems confusing. I just spoke with the person who does the recipes for the website and she said they had done some step-by-step photos that she will put on that recipe now. She also agreed that she will be doing a video to go along with it! Thanks for taking the time to let us know! That really helps!
