Ingredients

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian rolls

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut a circle in the center of the rolls, removing the middle portion to create space for the dip, but keep the rolls connected as a ring.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
  3. Prepare the Cheesy Dip
    In another bowl, combine mozzarella, cream cheese, Parmesan, and sour cream (or mayonnaise). Season with salt and pepper, then spoon mixture into the hollowed-out center of the rolls.
  4. Bake
    Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes until rolls are golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve
    Pull apart the rolls and dip into the cheesy center while warm.
