Description

Soft, pillowy Hawaiian rolls slathered in a tangy garlic-butter mix and stuffed with oozy cheddar. Baked until golden, then broiled for crisp tops, each mini sandwich bursts with warm, comforting flavors in every gooey mouthful.


Ingredients

  • 12 pieces mini Hawaiian rolls
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom connected at the back.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder.
  4. Spread the butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of each roll.
  5. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each roll, then close with the top half.
  6. Arrange the assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side up.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
  8. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until the tops are lightly toasted.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, substitute Swiss or mozzarella cheese.
  • Prepare ahead and refrigerate assembled rolls for up to 1 hour before baking.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the best gooey texture.
  • Adjust garlic powder and Dijon mustard to suit your taste.
