Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Add-ins

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without cutting all the way through to keep them hinged.
  2. Prepare the skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then generously butter the insides of each Hawaiian roll to ensure a golden, crispy exterior.
  3. Assemble and start cooking: Place the bottom halves of the rolls, buttered side down, on the skillet. Add a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on each, and if using, layer with sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon. Close the sandwiches with the top halves, buttered side up, and press down slightly.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip each sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add slices of tomato or crispy bacon inside before grilling.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for best results and easier flipping.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on stove heat to avoid burning the bread.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can butter the outer sides of the rolls before placing on the skillet.
