Description

These Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls are the perfect bite-sized snack or appetizer for any occasion. Made with soft and sweet Hawaiian rolls filled with a melty blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, brushed with a garlic butter mixture, and grilled to golden perfection on the stovetop, these sliders are irresistibly cheesy, buttery, and flavorful. Ideal for parties, gatherings, or a quick comfort food fix.


Ingredients

Scale

Sandwiches

  • 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into quarters

Butter Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling the mini sandwiches.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as a sheet. Then separate the tops from the bottoms to create two layers.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese quarters onto the bottom halves of the rolls. Then cover with the roll tops to form the mini sandwiches.
  4. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter.
  5. Brush Sandwich Tops: Generously brush the tops of the mini sandwiches with the garlic butter mixture to add flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
  6. Grill Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet and gently press down with a spatula. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a delicious snack, appetizer, or party bite.

Notes

  • You can prep these sandwiches ahead of time and store them in the fridge, then grill just before serving for convenience.
  • For added variety and flavor, try adding ham slices or tomato for a fun twist to the classic grilled cheese.
