Preheat the Oven: Start by turning your oven on to 400°F (200°C). This gets your oven hot and ready for baking.
Prepare the Rolls: Take your Hawaiian rolls and put them in a baking dish. Make some cuts halfway through each roll, but be careful not to slice all the way through. Stuff these cuts with 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese, spreading it out evenly across all the rolls.
Mix the Topping: Grab a small bowl and mix together 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. This mixture is going to add a ton of flavor to your rolls.
Brush and Bake: Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture you just made over each roll. Make sure they're all nicely covered. Pop them in your preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes. You're looking for the rolls to turn golden and the cheese inside to melt.
Serve Hot: Once out of the oven, let the rolls sit for a minute or two. This little wait helps the cheese to settle, making the rolls easier to handle. Serve them up warm for a truly comforting and cheesy delight.
Notes
Cheese Choices: Mix it up with different cheeses. Try a Mozzarella and Cheddar blend, or add Pepper Jack for a spicy twist.
Garlic Boost: Love garlic? Add an extra half tablespoon to the butter. A pinch of Italian seasoning or herbs like oregano or basil can also enhance the flavor.
Pan Size: An 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan works well, but feel free to use what you have.
Dipping Sauce: Serve the rolls with marinara sauce for an extra flavor kick.
