These baked grilled cheese sliders are made with soft Hawaiian rolls, a seasoned blend of cheddar and mozzarella, and finished with garlic butter. They bake quickly, then broil until the tops are golden and the cheese is perfectly melted. Serve them warm with tomato soup for a classic comfort food meal.

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 TBSP butter, divided
  • 1 TBSP mayonnaise (optional)

Garlic Butter Topping (Optional)

  • 1 TBSP butter, melted
  • ⅛ tsp garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss until evenly mixed.
  3. Slice the Hawaiian rolls lengthwise, separating the top and bottom halves.
  4. Place the bottom half of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spread mayonnaise over the bottom cut side if using. Spread butter over the top cut side.
  5. Evenly distribute the seasoned cheese mixture over the rolls.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Turn the oven to low broil and broil for about 2 minutes, watching carefully so the cheese does not burn.
  8. Carefully pull the tray partially out of the oven. Using tongs or a spatula (the bread will be hot), place the top half of the rolls over the melted cheese.
  9. In a small bowl, mix 1 TBSP melted butter with ⅛ tsp garlic salt.
  10. Brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter mixture.
  11. Return to the oven and broil for 2–3 minutes, until the tops are golden and lightly crisp.
  12. Smash slightly if desired for that traditional grilled cheese look.
  13. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Notes

Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, provolone, or a pizza blend work well in place of cheddar or mozzarella.

Watch closely during broiling. Hawaiian rolls brown quickly because they contain sugar.

These sliders pair perfectly with roasted tomato soup for a classic grilled cheese meal.
