Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup (4 oz or 8 tbsps) butter, softened
- 1 tbsp (0.5 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsps minced garlic
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Arrange Hawaiian rolls snugly in a baking dish, making horizontal cuts three-quarters through each roll without separating.
- Cheese Insertion: Slide thin mozzarella slices strategically into each slit, ensuring even distribution for consistent melting.
- Flavor Fusion: Whisk softened butter with Parmesan, garlic, oregano, and kosher salt until creating a fragrant, uniform compound.
- Butter Application: Lavishly spread herbed butter mixture across roll surfaces, allowing it to penetrate pre-cut sections thoroughly.
- Baking Process: Position dish in oven preheated to 400°F (200°C), baking 10-12 minutes until cheese melts completely and roll tops transform into golden-brown, crispy perfection.
- Serving: Allow bread to rest 2-3 minutes for cheese stabilization, then serve immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and flavor intensity.
Notes
- Slice Carefully: Cut rolls three-quarters deep to prevent breaking, maintaining roll structure for perfect garlic bread presentation.
- Cheese Distribution: Evenly place mozzarella slices in each slit to ensure consistent melting and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Butter Blend Technique: Whisk butter mixture thoroughly to create a uniform, fragrant compound that penetrates deeply into roll crevices.
- Temperature Watch: Monitor baking closely at 400°F to achieve golden-brown crispy tops without burning, ensuring melted cheese and perfect texture.
