Description

Soft Hawaiian rolls filled with gooey cheddar and mozzarella, brushed with garlicky butter and baked to golden perfection. A sweet and savory twist on classic grilled cheese that’s perfect for sharing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (kept attached)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley over low heat. Set aside.
  3. Slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Spread mayonnaise on both inner sides.
  4. Layer cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on the bottom half, then replace the top half of rolls.
  5. Place the assembled rolls in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
  6. Brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to make spreading easier and more even.
  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup and lift-out.
  • Add ham, tomato, or jalapeños for extra layers of flavor.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispiness.
