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

  1. Preparation: Gather kitchen tools, ingredients, and create a clean workspace for crafting garlic Hawaiian rolls.
  2. Cream Cheese Mixture: Blend cream cheese, minced garlic, herbs, and seasonings until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  3. Garlic Butter Fusion: Combine melted butter, crushed garlic, parsley, and salt in a separate bowl, whisking until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Roll Transformation: Gently score Hawaiian rolls into four connected segments without completely separating, creating a fan-like structure for filling and coating.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
