Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Add-ins

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the cheese and optional fillings.
  2. Heat Skillet and Butter: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the inside surfaces of each Hawaiian roll to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the heated skillet and generously fill with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add optional sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon if desired. Press the top halves of the rolls gently to close the sandwiches.
  4. Grill Sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches on medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts fully and the bread is crispy.
  5. Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Slice if desired and serve hot for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, cook a few minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Add crispy bacon or sliced tomatoes inside to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron pan for best results.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its melty best.
