Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional Ingredients
- Sliced tomatoes
- Crispy bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half, but do not cut all the way through, leaving a hinge to keep the bread connected.
- Butter the rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread unsalted butter on the insides of each roll, ensuring even coverage to help create a crisp, golden crust when grilled.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the rolls butter-side down onto the heated skillet. Fill each with a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. If desired, add optional sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon on top of the cheese. Close the sandwich by pressing down slightly with the top halves.
- Grill the sandwiches: Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the cheese. Grill until both sides are a beautiful golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- Serve hot: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Slice if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and crispy buttery bread.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the rolls before the cheese melts.
- Adding crispy bacon or sliced tomatoes adds complementary flavors and textures.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly toast the rolls prior to buttering and assembling.
- Monterey Jack cheese melts well but you can substitute with mozzarella for a different flavor.
