I love fresh herbs. I came across some fresh organic dill for $1.29 for a huge bunch. I bought one and made my entire Father's Day meal with fresh dill in everything. No complaints! These rolls are amazing, and they smell as good as they taste.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love fresh dill, these mozzarella dill rolls are for you. The rolls are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Mozzarella cheese, onions, and garlic add a savory flavor to the dinner rolls accented by pops of fresh dill. Brushing with a dill butter makes the final product nice and buttery. We served them warm with a cup of soup and they were amazing.
