Blue Ribbon Recipe

These gruyere rolls might not make it to your dinner table... they smell so good, your family may grab one right as they come out of the oven. Gruyere cheese is a nutty, savory cheese that adds rich flavor to the dinner rolls. Once baked, they have a slight crunch on top, but the inside is nice and fluffy. Thanks to their savory angle, they'd be great served alongside a saucy pasta dish or a bowl of soup.
