Mini Grilled Cheese Hawaiian Rolls (Printable version)

Bite-sized grilled cheese on sweet Hawaiian rolls with melted cheddar and a buttery honey-mustard glaze.

# Ingredient list:

01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

02 - 8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese

03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

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)

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Using a serrated knife, slice the block of rolls horizontally without separating individual rolls to create a top and bottom half.

03 - Arrange the bottom half of the rolls on the baking sheet. Evenly layer sliced cheddar cheese over the rolls. Add ham or turkey if using.

04 - Place the top half of the rolls over the layered ingredients.

05 - Stir melted butter with mustard, honey, and garlic powder, if desired. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.

06 - Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.

07 - Let rest for 2 minutes. Cut into individual sandwiches and serve warm.

01 -

Each bite balances gooey cheddar with the soft sweetness of Hawaiian rolls—seriously irresistible when hot out of the oven.
Customizing these is a breeze, so your snack platter always feels new and fun.

02 -

Once I forgot to use parchment and spent more time scrubbing cheese off the pan than eating—trust me, line your tray.
Letting the sandwiches rest (just briefly!) keeps the cheese from running everywhere when you slice; impatience is delicious but messy.

03 -

Slice with slow, gentle movements—rushing only mashes the rolls, and your cheese won’t stay put.
Spreading the butter mixture all the way to the edges is what gives that bakery-worthy finish.
