Tips For Making Easy Olive Cheese Rolls

  • If you don’t like rosemary, use parsley, oregano, or basil.
  • You can easily switch out the cheese too. Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese would be delicious as would a little feta cheese.
  • If you can’t find any olive tapenade at the store, you can finely chop some black olives and add some minced garlic and olive oil to them. It will taste just as good in these rolls.
