Description
Delicious and cheesy stuffed King’s Hawaiian Rolls, perfect for parties or a fun appetizer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 12–24 slices deli pepperoni
- 6 string cheese sticks, cut in half
- marinara or pizza sauce (for dipping, optional)
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Rolls (removed from all packaging) on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them attached. Using a sharp knife, cut one slit into the top of each roll in each row, slicing through all the rolls but stopping about ⅔ of the way down.
- Stuff each slit with 1-2 slices of deli pepperoni and half a string cheese stick, pressing the filling gently into the slits to secure it.
- In a small bowl, mix 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted, 2 garlic cloves, minced, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure to get some into the slits.
- Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the rolls.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for 3-4 more minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Note: If cheese still hasn’t fully melted or isn’t melted enough for your liking, place the aluminum foil back on and put back into the oven for a few more minutes. This will help the cheese to melt without everything getting darker.
- Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- 1-2 slices of deli pepperoni can be used per roll based on preference.
- Shredded mozzarella can be used instead of string cheese.
