Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 oz (226 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 whole bulbs garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Roast Garlic: Slice garlic bulbs horizontally, drizzle with olive oil, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and roast at 350°F for 45 minutes until cloves become golden and tender.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a mixing bowl, blend with softened butter, fresh parsley, and salt to create a smooth, aromatic spread.
- Stuff Rolls: Carefully slice a vertical pocket in each Hawaiian roll without cutting through completely, then generously fill with the roasted garlic butter mixture and insert a thick slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake and Serve: Arrange stuffed rolls on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 12-15 minutes until warmed through and cheese melts into a gooey texture. Serve immediately while warm and inviting.
Notes
- Garlic Roasting Technique: Completely seal foil around garlic bulbs to trap moisture and intensify caramelization, ensuring soft, golden cloves without burning.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Use thick mozzarella slices for maximum gooey texture, ensuring even melting by creating a generous pocket in each roll.
- Butter Blending Trick: Mash roasted garlic and butter thoroughly to create a smooth, fragrant spread that infuses maximum flavor into the rolls.
- Serving Recommendation: Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the optimal combination of warm, soft rolls and perfectly melted cheese.
