Equipment

  • Serrated knife
  • Cutting board
  • Oil brush
  • Small bowl microwavable
  • Griddle or large frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack King's Hawaiian Dinner Rolls (12 each) or slider buns
  • 12 slices Cheese
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Slice rolls into 12 individual rolls or cut rolls into two sections with 6 rolls each. Using a serrated knife, slice the rolls in half.
  • Flatten the top and bottoms of the rolls using a rolling pin, the side of a smooth drinking glass, or your hands.
  • Turn griddle on medium-low heat. Melt butter in a microwave-safe dish for 30-second increments. Mix the garlic powder and Italian seasoning into the melted butter. Using your oil brush, brush melted butter onto the inside of one side of the rolls - this will be the outside of your grilled cheese.
  • Cut cheese slices into four quarters. Place rolls on your griddle, butter side down, adding 4 small pieces of cheese to each dinner roll. Place the top of the roll on top of the cheese with the inside of the roll facing up. Brush the tops of the mini grilled cheese with butter.
  • Flip the grilled cheese after a few minutes, or once the bottom is golden brown. Let the other side of the grilled cheese turn golden brown while the rest of the cheese melts. Remove the grilled cheese from the griddle. If you cooked your grilled cheese in two large sections (6 sandwiches in each), let the sandwiches cool before slicing into individual mini-grilled cheese.
