Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 8 slices Cheddar Cheese to 10 slices
  • 4 tablespoons softened Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped Parsley optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F. For easier cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and optional parsley. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.

  3. Slice the Rolls: Take your Hawaiian rolls and slice each one into thirds vertically. This creates more surface area for the butter and cheese.

  4. Butter the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of every roll slice.
  5. Layer the Cheese: Place slices of cheddar cheese between the roll pieces. Ensure the cheese covers the bread entirely so that every bite is gooey and delicious.

  6. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the sliders on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Be sure to flip the rolls halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides get golden and crispy.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and stretchy.

Notes

Use fresh King’s Hawaiian rolls for the best texture contrast between the fluffy interior and toasted exterior. Flipping the sliders halfway through baking prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy and ensures an even golden-brown color.
