Ingredients

Scale

Rolls

  • 1216 count Hawaiian rolls (2 slits cut into the top of each, halfway through)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 1 stick salted butter (softened)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (washed thoroughly)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Cheese Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Place the prepared Hawaiian rolls with two slits cut halfway through the top into a buttered 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  2. Stuff the Rolls: Fill each slit with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing the cheese evenly so each roll is stuffed.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened salted butter, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Apply the Butter: Spread the seasoned garlic butter mixture evenly over the tops of the cheese-stuffed rolls. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered rolls for added flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls turn a golden brown color.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and gooey for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and spreading.
  • You can adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preferences.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; keep an eye to prevent burning.
  • To add a little extra flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning on top before baking.
  • This recipe can be made ahead by prepping the rolls and refrigerating them before baking; just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
