Sweet Hawaiian rolls meet savory melted cheese in this easy comfort food recipe. Perfect for quick lunches or party appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 12 slices of American cheese or your favorite cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as a single unit. Place the bottom half on the baking sheet.
  3. Layer the cheese slices evenly over the bottom half of the rolls, covering the entire surface.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer and press down gently.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Using a pastry brush, spread the butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls, covering all surfaces.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting between the rolls to separate individual sandwiches.

Notes

  • Any melting cheese works well. Try cheddar, provolone, Swiss, or a mix for extra flavor depth.
  • The mayonnaise in the butter mixture adds moisture and helps create a beautiful golden crust, but you can use butter alone if preferred.
  • Watch closely while baking as Hawaiian rolls brown quickly due to their sugar content.
  • Can assemble up to 2 hours ahead, cover with foil, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
