Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional Add-ins
- Sliced tomatoes (optional)
- Crispy bacon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, so they stay hinged on one side for easy filling.
- Butter the rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spread the unsalted butter on the inside surfaces of each roll to ensure a golden, crispy exterior.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the buttered rolls onto the skillet. Generously fill each with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and add optional toppings like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon if desired. Close the sandwich by pressing the top halves down gently.
- Grill the sandwiches: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip to grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Continue until both sides are crispy and the cheese inside is melted thoroughly.
- Serve hot: Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.
Notes
- Be careful when flipping the sandwiches to keep the rolls intact and prevent cheese from spilling out.
- Use a spatula to press down slightly on the sandwiches to help them cook evenly and melt the cheese faster.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like basil or a sprinkle of garlic powder inside the sandwich before grilling.
- If you prefer a crispier sandwich, cook over medium-low heat slightly longer to avoid burning.
