Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 12 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 24 slices cheddar cheese
Garlic Herb Butter
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and chopped parsley until combined evenly to create a flavorful garlic herb butter.
- Cut Rolls and Apply Butter: Separate each King’s Hawaiian roll and then cut each roll horizontally into thirds to create smaller bread slices. Spread a generous layer of the prepared garlic herb butter evenly on each slice.
- Assemble Mini Sandwiches: Place slices of cheddar cheese between two buttered bread slices to assemble the mini sandwiches, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sandwiches on the middle rack for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides turn golden brown and the cheese melts perfectly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, pair these mini grilled cheese sandwiches with a cozy bowl of tomato soup for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use softened butter to ensure easy mixing and smooth application on bread.
- Flipping halfway through baking helps achieve an evenly browned crust on both sides.
- Add a slice of tomato or ham inside each sandwich for extra flavor variations.
- These mini sandwiches are perfect party appetizers or kid-friendly snacks.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
