These easy focaccia muffins are a delicious and simple twist on traditional focaccia bread, made by topping frozen dinner rolls with classic Mediterranean ingredients like cherry tomatoes, olives, feta, and Parmesan, then drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with oregano and salt for a flavorful bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Dough Base

  • 12 frozen dinner rolls

Toppings

  • Cherry tomatoes, sliced, to taste
  • Black olives, sliced, to taste
  • Green olives, sliced, to taste
  • Feta cheese, crumbled, to taste
  • 6 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Dash of salt
  • 12 teaspoons olive oil (for drizzling before toppings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough Base: Remove the frozen dinner rolls from the freezer and place them evenly spaced in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet suitable for baking muffins.
  2. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Evenly drizzle 12 teaspoons of olive oil over the top of each dinner roll to ensure moisture and flavor during baking.
  3. Add Toppings: Distribute the sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, and green olives evenly over each roll, followed by crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano and a dash of salt over the assembled muffins to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute fresh herbs like rosemary or basil for a different flavor.
  • You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
  • If dinner rolls are not available, small pre-made bread dough balls can be used as a substitute.
