Easy 3 Cheese Skillet Dip
A warm, delicious cheesy dip surrounded by buttery parmesan rolls, baked in a cast iron skillet. Using frozen bread dough makes assembly super simple!
Ingredients
- 16 pieces frozen dinner roll dough, such as Rhodes brand dough
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, such as Kraft (in the green shaker bottle)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (8 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (8 ounces) grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash or spice blend of your choice
Instructions
- Line the edges of a seasoned 12-inch cast iron skillet with frozen roll dough and place in a warm area to rise.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix together slowly until combined.
- 30 minutes before the rolls are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in the center of the oven.
- When the dough has risen, generously brush with melted butter. Sprinkle rolls with Parmesan cheese.
- Place the cheese mixture in the center of the skillet.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese dip has melted. If the dough needs a little more time, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the rolls and continue to bake about 5 minutes, until cooked through.
- Remove skillet from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle cheese dip with more Parmesan cheese and herbs as desired.
Notes
While testing this recipe, we made a delightful discovery. As the cheese dip is cooking, it melts on the bottom of the skillet and lightly browns, forming a cheesy crust under each roll. Delicious!
Try other cheeses to suit your taste: mozzarella, fontina, provolone, and Muenster are also good for this dip.
