These Hawaiian Roll Mini Grilled Cheese sliders are a fun and easy baked sandwich perfect for parties or a kid-friendly snack. Made with sweet Hawaiian rolls, gooey melted mozzarella or cheddar cheese, and a buttery garlic Parmesan topping, they bake in just 10-12 minutes to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pack (12 rolls) Hawaiian sweet rolls (keep rolls attached; slice horizontally)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese or a mix

Butter Topping

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a savory finish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Keep the 12 Hawaiian rolls attached in a slab and slice horizontally through the middle to divide into a bottom and top layer. Place the bottom layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Add the cheese: Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a mix) over the bottom layer of rolls, ensuring full coverage.
  3. Cap the rolls: Place the top half of the Hawaiian roll slab back over the cheese-covered bottom layer to form the sandwich slab.
  4. Brush with butter topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese if using. Generously brush this buttery mixture over the top of the sandwich slab.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
  6. Slice & serve: Let the baked sliders rest for 2 minutes, then carefully slice between the rolls with a serrated knife. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey melted cheese.

Notes

  • Keep it pork- and alcohol-free by using turkey or chicken deli meats if adding protein, and avoid wine-based sauces.
  • For extra crunch, toast the bottom slab of rolls for 2–3 minutes before adding cheese.
  • These sliders pair wonderfully with dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
  • Do not separate the rolls before slicing horizontally to keep the slab intact for easy layering and baking.
