This Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese Recipe combines the sweet, soft texture of King’s Hawaiian rolls with a savory blend of cheddar cheese and garlic herb butter for the ultimate mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, they make an irresistible appetizer or snack, especially when paired with tomato soup.

Ingredients

Scale

Rolls and Cheese

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • Butter, 4 tbsp (softened)
  • Sliced cheddar cheese, enough to place on each roll slice (approximately 12 slices)

Seasonings for Garlic Herb Butter

  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, oregano, garlic powder, and parsley thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined to create a flavorful garlic herb butter.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Carefully separate the King’s Hawaiian rolls individually, then cut each roll into thirds horizontally to make mini sandwich slices. Spread the prepared garlic herb butter generously on each cut surface of the roll slices.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place slices of cheddar cheese between the buttered roll slices to assemble mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange the sandwiches evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled sandwiches for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even toasting and melting of the cheese.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven once the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by tomato soup for a classic comfort food pairing.

Notes

  • Use softened butter to ensure easy mixing with the herbs and spices.
  • Flipping the sandwiches halfway through baking ensures even browning and melting on both sides.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors.
  • These mini sandwiches are great for parties or as finger food for gatherings.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge is best; reheat in an oven for best texture.
