Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Rolls (Printer-Friendly)

Soft Hawaiian rolls with garlic butter and melted mozzarella cheese, offering a warm, cheesy snack experience.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 12 King's Hawaiian Savory Butter Rolls

→ Cheese

02 - 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
03 - 120 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 30 grams shredded Parmesan cheese

→ Butter Mixture

05 - 113 grams unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3 grams minced garlic (about 1 teaspoon)
07 - 1 gram dried parsley (about 1 teaspoon)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set the oven to 400°F and position the rack in the middle.
02 - Arrange the rolls snugly in a greased baking dish. Cut two slits horizontally on top of each roll without slicing through the bottom to create pockets.
03 - Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick into 4 equal pieces and insert one piece into each slit on the rolls.
04 - Combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and shredded Parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
05 - Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each roll.
06 - Bake rolls for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese topping is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Avoid cutting through the bottom of the rolls to keep the string cheese from oozing out during baking.
02 - For deeper flavor, lightly toast the garlic in melted butter before mixing in the Parmesan.
03 - Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat in oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
