05 - Mix melted butter with mustard, honey, and garlic powder if using. Brush the tops of the rolls with this mixture.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The combo of tangy cheese and sweet rolls is so moreish, you might find yourself sneaking bites before anyone sees.
- They’re ready in under half an hour and vanish even faster from the plate.
02 -
- If you rush slicing the rolls, the tops might tear and fillings will tumble out.
- Brushing the tops while still warm lets the butter seep in for extra flavor and an irresistibly soft crust.
03 -
- Using parchment keeps any bubbly cheese from sticking and saves on clean up.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder after baking rather than before.
