Sweet Garlic Buns

This is definitely a random discovering, having much to do with leftovers. I'm always at a loss on what to do with the leftover Sweet Hawaiian Rolls/Buns in the package of 8, when we only use 4 or whatever. That's when I decided to try and make garlic bread with it. And, boy, am I happy I did.

Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): cheese
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 2
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 2

Sweet Garlic Buns
Sweet Hawaiian Rolls/Buns, sliced in half
Butter
Garlic Salt
Shredded cheese (mozzarella, provolone, or Monterrey jack)

In small dish or bowl, melt 1 Tbl butter for every 2 rolls/buns you are making in microwave. Put oven to broil, set bun halves face side up on baking sheet, and place under broiler. Lightly toast, about 2 minutes, or until you see them start to brown (be careful not to let burn). Take out from under broiler. With a spoon, gently drizzle melted butter over each half of bun, as evenly as possible (if have baste brush, could use this also). Then, sprinkle garlic salt over each half, and then top with thin layer of shredded cheese. Put back under broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve open faced or as "sandwich".

I can't believe I am going to say this, but be careful to not put too much cheese. I, of course, put way too much cheese, and it wasn't as good. Just a thin layer will suffice. But this was a nice easy snack to make or a good side with dinner, and it puts a sweet spin on your average garlic bread.
