Ingredients

King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Sliced cheddar cheese
4 tbsp butter (softened)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley until well combined.
Step 3: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, then spread the herb butter generously on both sides of each roll.
Step 4: Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each roll and close it.
Step 5: Grill each sandwich in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon inside the sandwich before grilling.
Use different cheese varieties like Swiss or mozzarella for a new twist.
If you prefer less sweetness, try using plain dinner rolls instead of Hawaiian rolls.

Storage

Store any leftover grilled cheese sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven over low heat to keep the bread crisp and the cheese melted.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sandwiches and refrigerate them for a few hours before grilling, but for the best texture, grill them just before serving.

What can I use if I don’t have Hawaiian rolls?

Plain dinner rolls or slider buns work well as a substitute, though the sweetness from the Hawaiian rolls adds a unique flavor to the dish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – 8 rolls (split in half)
Sliced cheddar cheese – 8 slices

Seasoned Butter

Butter (softened) – 4 tablespoons
Oregano – 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Parsley – 1/2 tablespoon

Instructions

Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with oregano, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until the herbs and spices are evenly incorporated into the butter.
Assemble the Rolls: Slice each King’s Hawaiian roll in half horizontally. Place one or two slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each roll, then place the top half back on to form a sandwich.
Butter the Rolls: Generously spread the seasoned butter mixture on the outside of each roll sandwich. Ensure the entire surface is coated to achieve a golden brown crust during grilling.
Grill the Rolls: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered rolls on the hot surface. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted completely inside.
Serve Warm: Remove the grilled cheese rolls from the skillet and allow them to cool just slightly. Serve immediately for the best gooey, cheesy experience.

Notes

You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella or provolone.
Adjust garlic and herbs in the butter to your liking for different flavor profiles.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and burning during grilling.
Serve with tomato soup or a side salad to make a full meal.
