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 the Hawaiian rolls in half carefully without cutting all the way through, allowing them to open like a hinge for easy filling.
- Butter the Rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread unsalted butter on the insides of each roll half to ensure golden crispiness while grilling.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the buttered rolls onto the skillet. Generously fill them with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and any optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon. Press the top halves gently on the filling.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Cook until the roll bottoms turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread is crispy.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from heat. Slice if desired and serve hot for the best gooey, flavorful experience.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the rolls while ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
- For extra flavor and texture, try adding crispy bacon or fresh sliced tomatoes inside the sandwich.
- Hawaiian rolls’ natural sweetness pairs beautifully with the rich Monterey Jack cheese.
- Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic pairing.
- Grill carefully when flipping to keep the sandwich intact and prevent filling from spilling.
