Bite-sized grilled cheese on Hawaiian rolls with melted cheddar and a buttery, golden top—perfect for parties or quick lunches.

# What you'll need:

01 - 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

02 - 8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese

03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

04 - 6 slices deli ham or turkey (optional)

05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard (optional)

06 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Keeping rolls together, slice horizontally with a serrated bread knife to separate into a top and bottom half.

03 - Place the bottom half of rolls on prepared baking sheet. Arrange sliced cheddar cheese evenly over rolls. Add ham or turkey if using.

04 - Cover fillings with the top half of the rolls.

05 - If desired, mix melted butter with mustard, honey, and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rolls thoroughly using a pastry brush.

06 - Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.

07 - Allow pan to cool for 2 minutes, then cut into 12 individual mini sandwiches. Serve while warm.

The combination of salty cheese and sweet rolls makes them completely irresistible—even before they hit the oven.
Assembly is so foolproof you can get kids involved and still have a batch worthy of guests.

If you skip letting them cool before slicing, molten cheese will spill everywhere—patience definitely pays here.
Mixing butter with a little mustard was a last-second idea, and now I never skip it; the tang takes these over the top.

Brushing melted butter over the very edge of each roll guarantees the ultimate crispy-soft bite.
The parchment paper isn’t just for sticking—removing the finished rolls in one piece makes slicing so much easier.
