This Hawaiian Roll Mini Grilled Cheese recipe transforms sweet, soft King’s Hawaiian rolls into bite-sized, flavorful grilled cheese sandwiches. Enhanced with a savory garlic herb butter and melted cheddar cheese, these mini sandwiches are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Rolls and Cheese

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 12 slices cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces total)

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley until they form a smooth herb butter spread.
  2. Slice the rolls: Cut each King’s Hawaiian sweet roll in half horizontally, then cut each half into thirds to create small sandwich-sized pieces. Spread the prepared garlic herb butter generously on each piece to enhance flavor and crispiness during baking.
  3. Assemble mini sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two buttered pieces of the roll, making mini sandwiches. Arrange all sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake the mini grilled cheese: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sandwiches for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and melted cheese on both sides.
  5. Serve warm: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are delicious on their own or accompanied by a warm bowl of tomato soup for dipping.

Notes

  • Use softened butter so it mixes easily with the herbs and spreads smoothly on the rolls.
  • Flipping the sandwiches halfway through baking ensures even crispiness on both sides.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or Swiss for a different flavor.
  • Make sure the rolls are fresh for the best texture and taste.
  • These mini grilled cheeses freeze well; reheat in oven for a quick snack.
