Cheesy Hawaiian Garlic Rolls (Printer-Friendly)

Soft Hawaiian rolls filled with garlic butter and melted mozzarella topped with parmesan cheese.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 12 King's Hawaiian savory butter rolls

→ Cheese

02 - 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

→ Butter Mixture

05 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon dried parsley

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position the oven rack in the center for even baking.
02 - Arrange the twelve rolls close together in a greased baking dish. Using a sharp knife, cut two slits into the top of each roll without slicing through the bottom to form pockets for the cheese.
03 - Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick into four equal pieces. Insert one piece into each slit of the rolls to create a gooey cheese surprise inside.
04 - Combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and shredded Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Stir thoroughly to blend flavors evenly.
05 - Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops to form a cheesy crust.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Monitor closely near the end to prevent burning.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Avoid slicing through the bottom of the rolls to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
02 - To deepen garlic flavor, toast garlic lightly in butter before mixing in Parmesan.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; reheat in oven or toaster oven for best texture.
