Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Optional: Sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon
Instructions
- Slice the Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a hinge.
- Preheat and Butter: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Butter the insides of each halved roll generously to ensure a golden, crispy texture.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the rolls buttered-side down on the skillet. Generously fill each with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add optional tomato slices or crispy bacon if desired, then press the top halves down gently.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Grill the sandwiches until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip and grill the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve Warm: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and even browning.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure medium heat to avoid burning the rolls while melting the cheese.
- Adding sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon enhances flavor but keep them thin for even grilling.
- This sandwich is best served immediately while warm and melty.
