🛒 Ingredients

For the Cheesy Garlic Bread:

  • 1 pack (12-count) Hawaiian rolls

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder for convenience)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or oregano

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, but do not separate them completely — keep them attached for easy pull-apart baking.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter

  1. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and optional herbs.

  2. Brush generously over the cut sides of the Hawaiian rolls. Make sure each layer gets coated with the garlic butter for maximum flavor.

Step 3: Layer the Cheese

  1. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.

  2. Place the top half back on, gently pressing down. Brush the top with a little more garlic butter if desired.

Step 4: Bake the Garlic Bread

  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the rolls to warm.

  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes to slightly crisp the top and allow the cheese to bubble.
