# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

03 - Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
04 - Lay one slice of cheese on each roll bottom, overlapping as needed to cover evenly.
05 - Place the tops of the rolls back on to form sandwiches.
06 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt until well blended.
07 - Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls using a pastry brush.
08 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
09 - Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then cut into individual sandwiches. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They bake up in one big batch, meaning less time hovering over the stove and more time with your people
  • The sweet Hawaiian rolls balance perfectly with sharp cheddar, creating that incredible salty sweet combo everyone craves
02 -
  • Dont slice the rolls individually before baking, they stay warmer and cook more evenly as a connected slab
  • The butter mixture needs to go all the way to the edges or those outside rolls will dry out
03 -
  • Use freshly grated cheese for faster melting and better coverage
  • Let the butter mixture cool slightly if it feels too hot, it spreads better that way
