Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsps green onion, diced
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp sugar
- ¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather kitchen tools, ingredients, and create a clean workspace for crafting garlic Hawaiian rolls.
- Cream Cheese Mixture: Blend cream cheese, minced garlic, herbs, and seasonings until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Garlic Butter Fusion: Combine melted butter, crushed garlic, parsley, and salt in a separate bowl, whisking until thoroughly incorporated.
- Roll Transformation: Gently score Hawaiian rolls into four connected segments without completely separating, creating a fan-like structure for filling and coating.
- Filling and Coating: Carefully pipe the prepared cream cheese mixture into the roll’s scored sections, then lavishly brush the entire surface with the aromatic garlic butter.
- Baking Precision: Position rolls on the middle oven rack, heating to 350°F. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and the filling becomes delightfully melted.
- Final Flourish: Remove from oven, garnish with an extra drizzle of garlic butter and a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while warm and irresistibly fragrant.
Notes
- Prep Workspace Carefully: Organize all tools and ingredients before starting to ensure smooth, efficient roll preparation.
- Master Cream Cheese Blending: Mix ingredients thoroughly until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency for the perfect filling texture.
- Perfect Crosscut Technique: Make precise, strategic cuts without fully separating roll sections to create ideal filling pockets.
- Optimize Baking Timing: Watch rolls closely during 13-15 minute baking window to prevent over-browning and maintain ideal golden color and moisture.
