Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Print Version)
Bite-sized Hawaiian rolls layered with cheddar, baked until golden and gooey. Perfect for parties or quick snacks.
# 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 Steps:
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 Tips:
01 -
- Theyre impossibly cute but pack serious flavor
- The sweet and savory combo is addictive
- You can make twelve at once instead of standing over a stove
02 -
- Slicing the rolls while connected is crucial, individual rolls burn faster
- The foil step prevents burning before the cheese melts
- Letting them rest sounds boring but it makes cutting so much easier
03 -
- Room temperature cheese slices melt more evenly than cold ones
- If the tops brown too fast, tent with foil again immediately
