Description

Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls are a delightful twist on a classic comfort food.

Perfect for parties, snacks, or a quick cheesy treat, these mini sandwiches combine sweet and savory flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano or basil, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the rolls evenly.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the entire pack of 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating them, creating a top and bottom half.
  3. Butter the Rolls: Spread the softened butter evenly on the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of the rolls.
  4. Add Garlic Powder: Sprinkle the optional garlic powder and dried herbs over the buttered sides for enhanced flavor.
  5. Layer the Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses across the bottom half, ensuring full coverage for melty goodness.
  6. Place Top Half: Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the cheesy bottom half, forming a sandwich.
  7. Wrap in Foil: Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and prevent drying during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake the foil-wrapped rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted completely.
  9. Unwrap and Toast: Remove the foil and bake the rolls uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy crust.
  10. Slice and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a minute post-baking, then slice into smaller portions and serve warm for the best melty experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting.
  • Optional garlic powder and herbs can be adjusted or omitted based on taste preferences.
  • Wrap rolls tightly in foil to retain moisture and ensure the cheese melts evenly.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure the cheese is free of animal rennet.
  • Serve immediately after baking to enjoy gooey, warm cheese.
