Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Ingredients

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally but do not cut all the way through, keeping the halves connected for easy handling.
  2. Butter the Rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and generously butter the inside surfaces of each roll to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls on the preheated skillet. Fill each generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and add optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon if desired. Press the top halves gently onto the cheese layer.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Cook the sandwiches over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to achieve an even golden brown crust and fully melted cheese inside.
  5. Serve Hot: Once both sides are golden and crisp and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Slice if desired and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella or cheddar along with Monterey Jack.
  • Adding crispy bacon provides a savory crunch that contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls.
  • Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts completely.
  • Butter the rolls well for a crispier crust, but avoid excess butter to prevent sogginess.
  • Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic pairing.
