Prepare dinner rolls. Slice about 1/4-inch off the top of each roll. Hollow out the inside center of each roll, with your fingers, leaving at least 1/4-inch inside rim. Brush or spray rolls with cooking oil. Divide shredded cheese into the rolls. Bake rolls, at 400F, for 5-7 minutes or until cheese melts. Or broil rolls, for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cheese has melted.
Paleo Tip: Substitute the dinner roll for a romaine lettuce leaf! A crisp lettuce leaf adds a delightful crunch!
