Ingredients
Sandwiches
- King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls - quantity as needed for desired servings
- Sliced cheddar cheese - enough for each mini sandwich
- 4 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley until well combined to create a flavorful garlic herb butter spread.
- Slice the rolls: Cut each King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Roll individually. Then slice each roll into thirds horizontally or vertically, depending on preference, to create small sandwich-sized slices. Spread the garlic herb butter generously on each cut side of the roll slices.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place sliced cheddar cheese between the buttered roll slices, forming mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled mini sandwiches on the baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides are evenly toasted and the cheese perfectly melted.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. These mini Hawaiian roll grilled cheese sandwiches are delicious on their own or ideal for dunking into a bowl of tomato soup.
Notes
- For a crispier exterior, ensure the butter is spread evenly on the roll slices.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist.
- These make excellent party appetizers or kid-friendly snacks.
- To speed up preparation, use pre-sliced cheese and softened butter straight from the refrigerator for easier spreading.
