Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional Additions
- Sliced tomatoes (as desired)
- Crispy bacon (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a hinge to keep the sandwich intact.
- Butter the Rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the unsalted butter evenly on the inside surfaces of each roll to ensure a crispy, golden exterior when grilled.
- Assemble and Grill: Place the bottom halves of the buttered rolls on the hot skillet. Add a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on each. Optionally add sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon on top of the cheese before closing with the top halves of the rolls. Press down gently to compact the sandwich.
- Cook Until Golden: Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the melted cheese. Cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
- Serve Hot: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Slice if desired and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even grilling.
- Do not cut the rolls completely through to keep the sandwich easier to handle while grilling.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like basil or oregano inside the sandwich.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stove’s heat to avoid burning the bread.
