Ingredients
  

For the spread

  • 1 pack Cream cheese Helps the spread cling to the bread.
  • 1/2 cup Butter (softened) Good quality butter makes a big difference.
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced) Use fresh for the brightest flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar) Can mix mozzarella and cheddar for tang.
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped) Adds fresh, peppery lift.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper A dash of black pepper gives a gentle lift.

For assembly

  • 12 pieces Hawaiian rolls Use soft rolls.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut-side up.

Mixing

  • In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, cream cheese, shredded cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until glossy and smooth.

Assembly and Baking

  • Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the cut sides of the rolls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  • Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.

Notes

For a crispier crust, slide the bread under the broiler for a minute at the end of baking. To store, wrap in foil or an airtight container. Reheat for 8-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or individually in a toaster oven.
