Sweet Hawaiian rolls loaded with melted cheddar cheese, brushed with butter and baked until golden. The ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

02 - 12 slices cheddar cheese or preferred melting cheese

03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

04 - 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped

05 - 6 slices tomato, thinly sliced

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.

02 - Keep Hawaiian rolls connected and slice horizontally through entire package to create top and bottom halves.

03 - Place bottom roll half on parchment-lined baking sheet.

04 - Distribute cheese slices evenly across bottom. Layer bacon and tomato if desired.

05 - Position top roll half over cheese layer.

06 - Brush roll tops generously with melted butter.

07 - Cover loosely with foil and bake 10 minutes until cheese melts completely.

08 - Remove foil and bake 3-5 minutes longer until tops achieve golden brown color.

09 - Let rest 2 minutes, then separate into individual sandwiches and serve warm.

01 -

The entire batch cooks at once, meaning no hovering over a skillet while everyone waits hungry
That Hawaiian roll sweetness balances sharp cheddar in ways regular bread never could

02 -

Dont let the foil touch the buttered tops or it will stick and tear off that beautiful crust you're building
Separating the rolls before baking makes them dry out, so always slice and bake them as one connected piece

03 -

Let them sit 2 full minutes before slicing or the cheese will ooze out everywhere
Serrrated knife is essential here so you don't squish the soft rolls while cutting
