These Grilled Cheese Sliders are a delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, made with soft King's Hawaiian rolls, layers of cheddar and provolone cheese, and a spread of mayonnaise for extra flavor. Baked until golden and melty, they make a perfect appetizer or snack for gatherings or family meals.

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) pkg King's Hawaiian Rolls
  • 4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  3. Slice Rolls: Without separating the rolls, cut the entire package in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
  4. Spread Mayonnaise: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the inside of each half of the rolls to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Layer Bottom Rolls: Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish, distributing them evenly.
  6. Add Cheese: Layer the cheddar cheese slices over the bottom rolls, followed by the provolone cheese slices for a rich, melty filling.
  7. Place Top Rolls: Carefully put the top half of the rolls onto the cheese layer to form the complete slider sandwiches.
  8. Brush with Butter: Brush the melted butter generously over the top of the rolls to help them brown beautifully in the oven.
  9. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to start melting and the rolls to warm through.
  10. Uncover and Continue Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven, cut the sliders apart at the pre-cut edges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use King's Hawaiian rolls as they add a slightly sweet flavor that complements the cheese.
  • For a crispier top, you can broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes after baking but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • These sliders can be customized by adding cooked bacon, tomato slices, or your favorite deli meats before baking.
  • They are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
