Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Additions

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a hinge that holds each sandwich together.
  2. Butter the rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spread butter on the insides of each roll, ensuring full coverage for a crispy and flavorful crust.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the rolls butter-side down on the skillet and generously fill with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add optional sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon if desired. Then close the sandwich with the top halves, butter side up.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Flip carefully to maintain sandwich structure.
  5. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from heat, slice if desired, and serve hot for the best gooey and crispy experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the softest texture and best flavor.
  • Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring cheese melts thoroughly.
  • Optional ingredients like tomatoes or bacon add extra flavor and texture.
  • Can be made vegetarian by omitting bacon.
  • Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
