Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Printable Version)
Cheddar-stuffed Hawaiian roll sliders brushed with butter and baked until golden — a quick, crowd-pleasing snack.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Breads
01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
→ Dairy
02 - 8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Optional Add-ins
04 - 6 slices deli ham or turkey (optional)
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard (optional)
06 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for topping)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Slice entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally to form a top and bottom section without separating individual rolls.
03 - Place the bottom half of rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Layer sliced cheddar cheese evenly across. Add optional deli ham or turkey if desired.
04 - Position the top half of the rolls over the layered fillings.
05 - Combine melted unsalted butter with optional mustard, honey, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
06 - Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and roll tops are golden brown.
07 - Cool for 2 minutes, then slice into individual mini sandwiches. Serve while warm.
# Quick Tips:
01 -
- The melted cheddar transforms these little rolls into gooey, pull-apart bites you cannot stop reaching for.
- It is so easy to customize for any craving or gathering, which is exactly how it stole the show at my last movie night.
02 -
- If you don’t use parchment, the cheese will glue the rolls to the pan—you do not want to be scraping them off.
- Letting the rolls sit just a couple minutes makes them easier to slice cleanly (and saves your fingers from melting cheese burns).
03 -
- Always let the rolls cool very slightly before slicing—cheese stays put, fingers stay safe.
- For the ultimate crispy top, broil for 1 minute at the end, but watch closely to avoid burning.
