Ingredients

  • 1 package Kings Hawaiian Rolls 12 rolls
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup marinara sauce divided
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the Hawaiian rolls on top.
  • Cut a hole halfway deep in the middle of each Hawaiian roll, then pull out the excess bread. Optionally use a shot glass to press down each hole to create more space for filling.
  • Combine melted butter with Italian seasoning, then evenly pour over the Hawaiian rolls (be sure to get the insides of the holes too).
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until the rolls are lightly toasted.
  • Add a pinch of shredded mozzarella into the bottom of each hole, then repeat with a spoonful of marinara sauce.
  • Place a cooked meatball into each hole, then add another spoonful of sauce and top with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for another 5-8 minutes to melt the cheese, then sprinkle grated parmesan and more Italian seasoning on top before serving.
