Notes
Mince garlic finely for even flavor and don't skimp on the butter mixture for incredible flavor and moisture.
To prevent sogginess, avoid over-buttering the very center, ensure your oven is fully preheated, and bake uncovered for most of the time.
For extra crispy edges, place rolls directly on a baking sheet. Always watch closely during the last minutes of baking and broiling to prevent burning.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat leftovers in the oven at 300°F (150°C), wrapped in foil, for 10-15 minutes, or use a toaster oven for individual pieces for crispness.
Substitutions: Use sharp cheddar or provolone cheese, dried Italian seasoning or oregano instead of fresh parsley, or brioche slider buns if Hawaiian rolls are unavailable.
Variations: Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick, or cooked crumbled bacon or mini pepperoni for a heartier dish.
To prep ahead, mix garlic butter a day in advance. Store butter and cheese separately, then assemble and bake just before serving for best results.
King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are recommended for their classic sweet, soft texture, but any similar sweet slider bun will work.
