Scale
Main Ingredients
- King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – 12 rolls
- Sliced cheddar cheese – 12 slices
Garlic Herb Butter
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with dried oregano, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly until all the herbs are evenly incorporated.
- Slice the Rolls: Individually separate King’s Hawaiian rolls, then cut each roll into thirds horizontally or vertically as preferred to create small sandwich-sized pieces. Spread the prepared garlic herb butter generously on each slice.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two buttered roll pieces to form mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat, butter side out.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled mini sandwiches for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and melted cheese.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. These grilled cheese bites are delicious on their own or accompanied by a bowl of tomato soup for dipping.
Notes
- Flip the sandwiches at the halfway mark to achieve a crispy, golden crust on both sides.
- Use your favorite sharp cheddar for a more intense flavor or a milder cheese for a creamier taste.
- These mini sandwiches can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Optional: Add tomato soup or a dipping sauce for an extra comforting touch.
