Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches
  • 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls, 12-count
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 6 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
For the Buttery Garlic Topping
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
For Serving
  • 2 cups warm tomato soup optional, for serving

Method
 

Method
  1. Refrigerate leftover sandwiches within 2 hours of baking. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  2. For the best texture, reheat the sandwiches in a 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 8 to 12 minutes, loosely covered with foil for the first half of the reheating time. Remove the foil for the final few minutes to restore some crispness. Microwave reheating works but will make the rolls softer.
  3. To freeze, cool the baked sandwiches completely and separate them into individual portions. Wrap each sandwich tightly and place the wrapped pieces in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Notes

Serve the sandwiches soon after baking for the softest bread and best melted-cheese texture.
