Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – 1 package (12 rolls)
  • Sliced cheddar cheese – enough to layer on each sandwich (approximately 12 slices)

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until all the herbs and spices are evenly incorporated into the butter.
  2. Slice Rolls: Separate the King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls individually. Then, carefully cut each roll into thirds horizontally to create three thin slices per roll, perfect for mini sandwiches.
  3. Butter the Rolls: Spread a generous layer of the garlic herb butter onto each slice of roll, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar cheese between two buttered roll slices to form mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Arrange the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sandwiches on the baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven once golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve warm, optionally alongside a bowl of tomato soup for dipping.

Notes

  • You can prep the sandwiches 30-60 minutes ahead of time but serve them warm for best flavor and texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
  • For a crispier exterior, you can broil the sandwiches for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • These mini sandwiches are great for both kids and adults, ideal for parties, appetizers, or quick snacks.
