Ingredients
Scale
Herb Butter Spread
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
Main Ingredients
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
- 1.5 to 2 cups cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Herb Butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with dried oregano, garlic powder, and dried parsley until a fragrant herb butter spread is formed, ensuring the flavors meld well.
- Slice the Rolls: Take the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and cut each roll into thirds to create small sandwich-sized pieces perfect for bite-sized grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Butter the Roll Slices: Generously spread the prepared garlic herb butter on each slice of the rolls, making sure each piece is well coated to enhance flavor and promote golden browning when baked.
- Assemble the Mini Sandwiches: Layer your choice of cheese between two buttered roll slices to make mini sandwiches. Arrange these on a baking sheet in a single layer for even baking.
- Bake the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the mini grilled cheese sandwiches on the baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve an evenly golden and bubbly cheese melt.
- Serve Warm: Once baked to a golden brown and melty perfection, remove the sandwiches from the oven. Let them cool slightly for a minute before serving warm, ideally paired with a comforting bowl of tomato soup for dipping.
Notes
- Use any cheese you prefer; cheddar and mozzarella are great choices for meltability and flavor.
- Ensure the butter is fully softened for easy mixing and spreading.
- Flipping halfway during baking helps achieve an even crispness on both sides.
- These mini grilled cheese sandwiches work perfectly as party appetizers or a fun snack.
- For a smokier flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the herb butter.
