Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating individual rolls.
- Add the cheese: Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish. Layer with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
- Make the butter topping: Mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Brush the rolls: Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5–8 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve: Cut into individual mini sandwiches and serve warm with tomato soup, marinara sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crispy tops, broil the rolls for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking while watching carefully. These mini grilled cheese sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
