Ingredients
Scale
Main Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon (0.5 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
Dairy and Fat:
- ½ cup (4 oz or 8 tablespoons) butter, softened
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Base:
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
Instructions
- Prepare a clean baking dish and arrange the Hawaiian rolls side by side, ensuring they are positioned close together but not overlapping.
- Carefully create precise horizontal cuts through each roll, cutting approximately three-quarters of the way through without completely separating the bread sections.
- Insert thin slices of mozzarella cheese into each strategic slit, distributing the cheese evenly across all rolls to guarantee consistent melting.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, finely grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of kosher salt, whisking until the ingredients form a uniform, fragrant mixture.
- Generously spread the herbed butter compound across the top of the rolls, ensuring complete coverage and allowing the mixture to seep into the pre-cut slits.
- Position the prepared dish in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, monitoring until the cheese becomes completely melted and the roll tops develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly, then serve immediately while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Elevate your slider rolls with this mouthwatering garlic cheese twist that transforms ordinary bread into a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
- Customize the cheese blend by mixing mozzarella with sharp cheddar or provolone for added depth of flavor.
- Prep rolls in advance and refrigerate before baking, making them perfect for last-minute gatherings or unexpected guests.
- Replace Parmesan with pecorino romano for a tangier cheese profile that complements the rich butter mixture.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to maintain their crispy exterior and gooey cheese center.
