This Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese Recipe combines the sweetness of King’s Hawaiian rolls with melted cheddar cheese and a flavorful garlic herb butter, baked to golden perfection. It’s an easy-to-make, delicious twist on classic grilled cheese sandwiches that are perfect for snack or meal time.

Ingredients

Sandwiches

  • King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – 12 rolls
  • Sliced cheddar cheese – 12 slices
  • Butter (softened) – 4 tbsp

Herb Butter Mix

  • Oregano – 1/2 tsp
  • Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Parsley – 1/2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley to create a fragrant and flavorful garlic herb butter.
  2. Cut the Rolls: Individually cut each King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Roll in half horizontally, then slice each half into thirds to create smaller sandwich-sized pieces.
  3. Butter the Rolls: Spread the prepared garlic herb butter generously on all cut surfaces of the roll slices to ensure even flavor and crispy texture when baked.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two buttered roll pieces to form mini grilled cheese sandwiches, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  5. Bake the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled sandwiches for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting and melted cheese.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. For a classic pairing, enjoy these mini grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of hot tomato soup if desired.

Notes

  • Flipping halfway through baking ensures both sides get perfectly toasted.
  • Use softened butter for easier mixing and spreading.
  • For a stronger garlic flavor, add a pinch of garlic salt or fresh minced garlic to the butter mix.
  • Cheddar cheese can be substituted with your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • These mini sandwiches are great for parties, snacks, or kid-friendly meals.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.
