Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Print Version)
Bite-sized grilled cheese on sweet Hawaiian rolls with melted cheddar and honey-butter glaze. Ready in 25 min.
# What You Need:
→ Breads
01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
→ Dairy
02 - 8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Optional Add-ins
04 - 6 slices deli ham or turkey, optional
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard, optional
06 - 1 tablespoon honey, optional
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Keeping the rolls together, slice the entire block horizontally with a serrated knife to form a top and bottom half.
03 - Place the bottom half of the rolls, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange cheddar cheese slices evenly over the rolls. Add deli ham or turkey if desired.
04 - Lay the top half of the rolls over the fillings to form a sandwich block.
05 - Combine melted butter with mustard, honey, and garlic powder if using. Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter mixture using a pastry brush.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
07 - Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes. Slice into individual sandwiches and serve warm.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Your friends will think you fussed for hours, but they come together in minutes.
- The sweet, tender rolls and gooey cheese always turn snack time into something a little magical.
02 -
- The first time I forgot parchment paper, the rolls glued themselves to the pan—don’t skip it!
- Melted butter must be fully liquid for an even, golden brush; little clumps lead to uneven browning.
03 -
- Slice the rolls with your palm holding the top steady for even layers and simple assembly.
- Let the mini sandwiches rest for a minute before cutting—this keeps the cheese from pouring out.
