Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls


  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini rolls

Description

These delightful Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls combine sweet and savory flavors for an irresistible snack or appetizer. Enjoy a golden, buttery crust with a perfectly melted, gooey cheese center.


Ingredients

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 6 slices (about 4-6 oz) good melting cheese (e.g., cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend), cut into quarters
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for butter

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare Rolls: Carefully slice each Hawaiian roll horizontally, creating a top and bottom half.
  • 2. Layer Cheese: Place 1-2 quarters of cheese on the bottom half of each roll, ensuring good coverage. Place the top half of the roll back on.
  • 3. Butter Rolls: In a small bowl, melt the butter. If using, stir in optional seasonings. Using a pastry brush, generously butter the outside of both the top and bottom halves of each assembled roll.
  • 4. Grill: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the buttered rolls in the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Press gently with a spatula occasionally.
  • 5. Serve: Remove from pan and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
