Ingredients

Scale

8–10 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
Roasted garlic from above
½ cup butter, melted(113g)
1 egg
¼ cup milk (60g)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp paprika
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
12 King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls, kept in the full sheet form (or replace with a French baguette of similar size)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped parsley and chili flakes for serving

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 400F

Mash with a fork and set aside
Add the mashed roasted garlic, melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika and parsley to a bowl
