Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter melted
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon dried parsley
1 package 12-count Hawaiian rolls
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
6 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley.
Without separating the rolls, use a serrated knife to slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating one large top and one large bottom.
Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half of the garlic Parmesan butter over the bottom side. Flip over so the cut side is up right.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the cut side.
Arrange the cheddar cheese slices in an even layer, slightly overlapping if needed to cover the rolls completely.
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and brush the remaining garlic Parmesan butter over the tops.
Place a second baking sheet directly on top of the sliders, gently pressing down.
Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the top baking sheet and continue baking for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Let the sliders rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing along the roll seams and serving warm.

Notes

Keeping the rolls connected makes them much easier to slice and assemble.
The second baking sheet helps the sliders bake evenly and gives them their signature crispy, golden finish.
Feel free to substitute your favorite melting cheese, such as American, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack.
