Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Rolls Recipe

Introduction

These Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Rolls are a perfect combination of sweet, savory, and cheesy flavors wrapped in soft, buttery bread. Easy to prepare and irresistible, they make a great side or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 package of King’s Hawaiian Savory Butter Rolls (12 rolls)
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• Mozzarella string cheese, 1 stick per two rolls
• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
• 3 tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 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.
3. Step 3: Cut mozzarella string cheese sticks into four pieces. Insert one piece of string cheese into each slit of the rolls.
4. Step 4: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and shredded parmesan cheese. Mix well to create the butter mixture.
5. Step 5: Use a brush to coat each roll with the butter mixture. Then evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops of the rolls.
6. Step 6: Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.

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.

FAQs

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

Yes, plain Hawaiian rolls will work fine, but the savory butter rolls add extra richness and flavor to the recipe.

Can I prepare these rolls in advance?

You can assemble the rolls and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

• Mozzarella string cheese, 1 stick per two rolls (6 sticks total)

Butter Mixture

• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is fully heated and ready for baking the rolls.
2. Prepare rolls: Place the package of King’s Hawaiian Savory Butter Rolls into a greased baking dish. Carefully cut two slits in the top of each roll, making sure not to slice through the bottom.

4. Prepare butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and shredded parmesan cheese. Stir the mixture well to fully combine all ingredients.
5. Brush rolls with butter mixture: Using a pastry brush, coat the entire top of each roll generously with the garlic parmesan butter mixture. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of the rolls for an extra cheesy crust.

• Brush the rolls generously with butter mixture for the best flavor and a golden crust.
• Serve warm for the gooey cheese effect.
