5.1 from 30 reviews

A deliciously sweet and savory Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese sandwich made with King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, melted cheddar cheese, and a flavorful garlic herb butter spread. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, this easy-to-make snack pairs wonderfully with tomato soup for a comforting meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

For the Sandwiches

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

For the Garlic Herb Butter

  • Oregano – 1/2 tsp
  • Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Parsley (dried or fresh, finely chopped) – 1/2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix well until all herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice each King’s Hawaiian roll individually. Then cut each roll into thirds horizontally to create smaller sandwich portions. Spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter on each slice.
  3. Assemble the Mini Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two garlic herb buttered roll slices to make mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet with the prepared sandwiches into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through baking to ensure even melting and toasting on both sides.
  5. Serve: Remove the baked Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese sandwiches from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by tomato soup for dipping.

Notes

  • Using King’s Hawaiian rolls adds a sweet contrast to the savory cheese and garlic butter, which is essential to this recipe’s unique flavor.
  • You can use any type of sliced cheese you prefer, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different twist.
  • Flipping the sandwiches halfway through baking ensures they toast evenly and the cheese melts properly.
  • These mini sandwiches are great for parties, snacks, or kid-friendly meals.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure your cheese is made without animal rennet.
