Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pkg (16 rolls) Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- 64 Small Slices of Cheese (see notes above)
- 1/2 Yellow Onion diced
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Rosemary
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with a baking mat or aluminum foil.
- Dice 1/2 a yellow onion into small pieces and set aside.
- On a cutting board, slice each Hawaiian roll into four small squares. See above for details. This will yield 32 mini grilled cheese sandwiches.
- In a small glass bowl melt one stick of butter in the microwave. This works best if you cut the butter into small cubes (about 1/2 tablespoon) first. Then use the melt butter button on the microwave or in 15 second intervals on half power.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in the garlic powder and rosemary.
- Lay the sliced pieces of bread on a sheet pan and coat the first side of the bread with the melted butter and seasoning mix. This works best with a basting brush.
- Then flip over the first slice of bread so the buttered side is down and add a single layer of cheese, some onions, and then top it with a second slice of cheese.
- Top the mini sandwich with the second side of bread. Using the basting brush again, add the remaining butter mixture to the top of the bread.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve with your favorite tomato soup.
Notes
I buy my Hawaiian Rolls at Costco in a 16 roll pack. You may have more or less sandwiches based on the package size.
