Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 milliliters) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted

Spices and Herbs:

  • 2 tablespoons green onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar

Garnish:

  • ¼ cup (25 grams) parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven by heating it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even temperature for baking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the cream cheese, minced garlic, herbs, and seasonings until the filling achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
  3. Transfer the prepared filling into a piping bag, making it ready for precise application into the rolls.
  4. Create a fragrant garlic butter mixture by combining melted butter, finely chopped garlic, and selected herbs.
  5. Carefully slice each Hawaiian roll with precise crosscuts, dividing them into four connected sections without completely separating the pieces.
  6. Methodically pipe the cream cheese filling into each strategic cut, ensuring even distribution throughout the rolls.
  7. Generously brush the rolls with the prepared garlic butter, coating the surface evenly for maximum flavor and golden-brown potential.
  8. Position the prepared rolls on the middle rack of the preheated oven, allowing for consistent heat circulation.
  9. Bake for 13-15 minutes, monitoring until the filling becomes molten and the roll tops transform into a rich, golden-brown color.
  10. Upon removing from the oven, enhance the rolls with an additional layer of garlic butter and sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  11. Serve immediately while the rolls are warm, guaranteeing the most delectable flavor and texture experience.
