Notes

  • Sweet or savory Hawaiian Rolls work here.
  • You can use less butter and more olive oil if preferred. 
  • Fresh garlic is a must. Garlic powder is not as good. 
  • Go with fresh parsley instead of dried parsley for the best flavor. 
  • Use a mixture of different cheeses if you like. A lot of times, I use 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and half-shredded white cheddar. Or even Gouda.
