I'm currently having withdrawals from Texas delicacies after spending the past week back home. This morning I woke up craving my favorite breakfast food in the whole entire world...kolaches! Most people outside of Texas don't know what kolaches are but they're simply yeast rolls stuffed with sausage and cheese. They're basically amazing!
Anyways, I began searching for a recipe I could easily whip up to get a little taste of home while back up in Utah and I ended up stumbling upon this simple recipe from The Coers Family Blog.

Here's what you'll need:
10 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls, thawed but still cool
10 fully-cooked breakfast sausages (jalapeno cheese if you enjoy a little kick like I do) :)
5 slices American cheese, cut into quarters
1/2 stick butter, melted
Directions:
1. Set out 10 frozen Rhodes bread rolls in a pan to thaw.
2. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap to keep moist.
3. Allow rolls to thaw for 2-3 hours before assembling kolache.
4. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
5. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
6. Flatten each thawed bread roll in the palm of your hand, like a tiny tortilla.
7. Place cheese and then sausage onto flattened bread roll.
8. Fold the ends of the bread roll over the sausage and begin to roll the dough over the filling to cover completely.
9. Be sure to pinch the ends of the bread roll to seal. (This keeps the cheese from oozing out too much during baking)
10. Place kolache seam-side down into prepared pan. Repeat until all ten kolache are completed.
11. Next, brush kolache with melted butter and don't be shy about it.
12. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Y'all Enjoy!
