- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
- 3 tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: Place the package of rolls into a greased baking dish. Cut two slits into the top of each roll, being careful not to cut through the bottom.
- Step 3: Cut mozzarella string cheese sticks into four pieces. Insert one piece of string cheese into each slit of the rolls.

Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture before brushing it on the rolls.
- You can substitute provolone or cheddar cheese for mozzarella to change the flavor profile.
- If you like a stronger garlic taste, increase the minced garlic to 1.5 teaspoons.
Storage
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until heated through and the cheese is soft again.

Can I use plain Hawaiian rolls instead of savory butter rolls?
