Ingredients
Rolls
- King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – quantity as needed
Cheese
- Sliced cheddar cheese – enough to fill mini sandwiches (about 4 slices per 12 rolls)
Garlic Herb Butter
- Butter (softened) – 4 tablespoons
- Oregano – 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Parsley (dried or fresh) – 1/2 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 tablespoon parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful garlic herb butter.
- Slice Rolls: Individually cut the King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, then further slice each roll into thirds horizontally to create smaller sandwich pieces. This ensures bite-sized portions perfect for mini grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Spread Butter: Generously spread the prepared garlic herb butter on each slice of the rolls, ensuring each piece is coated to enhance flavor and crispiness during baking.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place slices of cheddar cheese between the buttered roll pieces to assemble the mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet in a single layer, spaced slightly apart for even baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the mini grilled cheese sandwiches for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to achieve a golden-brown crust on both sides and perfectly melted cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, pair these mini grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup for a comforting and classic combination.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly sliced cheddar cheese.
- You can use fresh parsley instead of dried for a brighter herb flavor.
- Flip the sandwiches carefully halfway through baking to avoid breaking them.
- These mini sandwiches can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- Serve as appetizers, snack, or a fun lunch option.
