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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
