Description

A deliciously gooey Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese sandwich made with sweet, soft Hawaiian rolls and melted Monterey Jack cheese, grilled to golden perfection. This quick and easy recipe can be customized with optional toppings like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon for added flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich

  • 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 create a hinge, making it easier to stuff and flip.
  2. Butter the Rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Butter the insides of each roll generously to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the skillet. Fill the centers generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and any optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes or bacon. Place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings and press down slightly.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Grill the sandwiches over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the fillings. Continue grilling until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has completely melted.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet. Slice if desired and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, ensure the butter is spread evenly and the skillet is adequately preheated before grilling.
  • Customize your sandwich with optional add-ins such as sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use a spatula to flip the sandwich carefully to keep the fillings intact.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best melty cheese experience.
