HAWAIIAN ROLL CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

This Hawaiian roll cheesy garlic bread is so easy to make using King’s Hawaiian rolls that are stuffed with mozzarella cheese and baked in garlic butter until golden brown.

This Hawaiian roll cheesy garlic bread is so quick, easy and delicious to make.

I like having these rolls on hand for when I want to make something that I know everyone will love and requires very little effort.

My family loves this cheesy garlic bread and they’re so versatile, too.

You can serve them as a snack, appetizer or even as a whole meal if you’d like to.

They’re perfect for a game day or holiday appetizer especially! For some reason those are the two biggest times that I get requests to make them.

Besides as an after school snack, of course. Which my kids absolutely love. They could eat the whole package themself if I let them I bet.

And I totally get why. These are so cheesy and delicious with the soft Hawaiian rolls and garlic butter.

I hope you give this one a try. I know that if you do, you’ll love them just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Hawaiian roll cheesy garlic bread variations

Here are some great ways to switch this recipe up if you'd like to.

• Cheese- you don’t have to use string cheese if you’d rather not for this recipe. Any kind of hand shredded mozzarella cheese would be great. Also, feel free to change the cheese to any kind and experiment with different flavors.
• Meat- placing some pepperoni into the slits along with the cheese would turn these into pepperoni pizza Hawaiian rolls.

• Sauce- add a little marinara or pesto sauce to the inside of the slits before adding the filling for another layer of flavor, too.
• Rolls- you don’t have to use Kings Hawaiian rolls for this recipe if you’d prefer not to. Any kind of rolls would work here.

Hawaiian roll cheesy garlic bread instructions

• Kings Hawaiian slider rolls
• Cheese sticks (I like Polly-O string cheese)
• Butter
• Garlic, minced
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt, pepper & garlic powder

Instructions

First, remove the Hawaiian rolls from the packaging and using a sharp knife, cut along the center of each roll, vertically. Be careful not to cut through completely.

Next, cut the string cheese down the center (long ways) breaking them into two long pieces.

Then, stuff the string cheese into the slits in the Hawaiian rolls that we just created.

Now, make the garlic butter by melting the butter and mixing in the minced garlic, garlic powder, fresh parsley, salt and pepper.

Next, pour the garlic butter over the top of the Hawaiian rolls and using a pastry brush, spread it out as evenly over the rolls as you can.

Then, place the box of rolls onto a baking sheet and place them in the oven.

The box that the Hawaiian rolls come in are oven safe but I recommend placing it onto a baking sheet for this recipe. Sometimes the butter can drip out onto the bottom of the stove.

Finally, remove the rolls once the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown and toasted. Serve warm and enjoy!
