Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Printable)
Sweet Hawaiian rolls filled with melted cheddar, baked until golden and gooey.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread & Dairy
01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
02 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, sliced
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
→ Optional Flavor Boosters
04 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tbsp mayonnaise
06 - 1 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1 tsp dried parsley
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Without separating the rolls, slice the whole block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom half.
03 - If using, whisk together Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Spread evenly onto the cut sides of the rolls.
04 - Layer cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Place the top half over the cheese to reassemble.
05 - Place assembled rolls onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops generously with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley, if desired.
06 - Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
07 - Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and tops are golden.
08 - Let rest 2 minutes, then cut apart into 12 mini sandwiches. Serve warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The sweet Hawaiian rolls create this irresistible sweet and salty combo that people literally cannot stop eating
- You slice them all at once, which means twelve sandwiches happen in one single motion and nobody will believe how fast you pulled this together
02 -
- Using room temperature cheese helps it melt faster and more evenly so you do not end up with cold spots
- Do not skip the foil step or your tops will burn before the cheese has a chance to get all gooey
03 -
- A serrated knife makes that horizontal slice so much easier and keeps the rolls from squishing down
- Let the butter cool slightly after melting so it spreads more evenly instead of soaking in too fast
