Delicious pizza sliders on sweet Hawaiian rolls with a messy-yet-tasty twist.
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 1.5 cups (6 oz.) finely pre-shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (about 3 1/2 oz.) finely pre-shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1.33 cups pizza sauce (from 1 [13-oz.] jar)
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
  • 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 0.75 cup (about 3 oz.) thinly sliced pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.75 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, place a cooling rack on top, and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray.
  • Combine mozzarella, Italian cheese blend, basil, pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning in a small bowl, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
  • Combine pizza sauce and pesto in a small bowl, and let it sit aside.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them intact. Place the bottom layer of rolls on the baking sheet and set the top layer aside.
  • Sprinkle the first layer of rolls evenly with half of the cheesy mixture. Add half of the pepperoni slices and half of the sauce. Repeat the layers one more time.
  • Simply bake until the cheese is melted, approximately 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with Parmesan, garlic powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Set the mixture aside.
  • Take the rolls out of the oven, then place the top layer of rolls on top; brush them all with the butter mixture. Put them back in the hot oven and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the rolls promptly after separating them.
