Main Ingredients

  • 4 rolls Hawaiian rolls Soft and sweet rolls
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Melted cheese filling
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For buttering the rolls

Optional Add-ins

  • to taste sliced tomatoes For added freshness
  • to taste crispy bacon For a smoky flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half without cutting all the way through.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and butter the insides of each roll.

Cooking

  • Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the skillet and fill generously with cheese. Press down slightly with the top halves.
  • Grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
  • Once both sides are crispy and cheese is melted, remove from heat, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easy spreading. Press gently when grilling for even browning. Covers the pan for a minute at the end if the cheese needs more melting. Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavors.
