Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Optional Ingredients

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, ensuring not to cut all the way through, so the halves remain attached and easy to handle.
  2. Preheat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm. Butter the insides of each roll generously to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Lay the bottom halves of the rolls on the skillet and pile the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly on top. Add the top halves and press down slightly to help the cheese melt evenly.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the cheese. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve hot. Optionally, add sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon inside before grilling for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use butter generously on the insides of the rolls to achieve a crispy crust.
  • Be careful while flipping to keep the sandwich intact and prevent cheese from spilling out.
  • Feel free to customize with additional fillings like tomatoes or bacon for enhanced taste.
  • Medium heat is ideal to ensure the cheese melts fully without burning the bread.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease flipping.
