4.9 from 76 reviews

This Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic comfort food using King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls and a flavorful garlic herb butter. Perfectly baked until golden and melty, these mini grilled cheese sandwiches are an easy and irresistible snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwiches

  • King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – quantity as needed
  • Sliced cheddar cheese – enough to cover each mini sandwich (approximately 4 slices)
  • 4 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley to create a flavorful garlic herb butter spread.
  2. Slice Rolls and Apply Butter: Cut King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls individually in half, then slice each half into thirds horizontally to form small sections. Spread a generous amount of the prepared garlic herb butter on each roll slice.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two buttered roll slices to form mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake the Sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sandwiches for 20-25 minutes, flipping each sandwich halfway through the baking time to ensure even melting and a golden crust.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These mini grilled cheese sandwiches pair beautifully with tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing and spreading.
  • Flipping the sandwiches halfway through baking helps brown both sides evenly.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred melting cheese such as mozzarella or gouda.
  • Optional: Serve with tomato soup for a classic pairing.
