Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Printable)

Sweet Hawaiian rolls stuffed with melted cheddar, baked until golden and gooey.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

02 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, sliced

03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

04 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

05 - 1 tbsp mayonnaise

06 - 1 tsp garlic powder

07 - 1 tsp dried parsley

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Without separating the rolls, slice the whole block horizontally to create top and bottom halves.

03 - If using, whisk Dijon mustard and mayonnaise together. Spread evenly onto cut sides of the rolls.

04 - Layer cheddar cheese evenly over bottom half. Place top half over cheese to reassemble.

05 - Place assembled rolls on 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 5 additional minutes until cheese is fully melted and tops are golden.

08 - Let rest 2 minutes, then cut apart into 12 mini sandwiches. Serve warm.

01 -

The sweet Hawaiian rolls create this incredible flavor contrast with sharp cheddar that regular bread just cannot achieve
Making twelve sandwiches at once means you can feed a crowd without standing over a stove for an hour

02 -

Slicing the rolls horizontally while they are still connected is the game-changing technique that makes this recipe actually practical for weeknights
The foil method during the first half of baking ensures the rolls heat through without burning before the cheese has time to melt properly

03 -

A serrated knife is essential here for clean cuts without squishing the soft rolls
If your cheese seems too thick, simply fold each slice to fit the smaller roll dimensions
