Ingredients
-
1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 rolls, kept as one slab)
-
6 slices melt-friendly cheese (American, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack)
-
6 slices flavor cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack, or provolone)
-
3 tablespoons butter, melted
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
-
½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Optional add-ins:
-
Thin-sliced ham or cooked bacon (used sparingly)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet.
-
Using a serrated knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally as one slab. Place the bottom half on the baking sheet.
-
Layer cheese directly on the bottom rolls, starting with the melt-friendly cheese, then the flavor cheese.
-
Place the top half of the rolls back on.
-
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley if using.
-
Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese is fully melted.
-
Remove foil and continue baking until the tops are golden.
-
Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
Notes
-
Keep the rolls connected while baking for even cooking.
-
Avoid placing butter on the bottom of the rolls to prevent sogginess.
-
Use thin, dry add-ins only if adding meat.
-
Let the sliders rest briefly before slicing to keep the cheese from sliding out.
