Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Hawaiian rolls Soft and slightly sweet rolls for the base
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Can substitute with other cheese varieties
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For grilling

Optional Ingredients

  • sliced tomatoes Optional, for added flavor
  • crispy bacon Optional, for added 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.

Grilling

  • 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 the cheese is melted, remove from heat, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is hot enough before cooking to achieve a nice golden brown color. Avoid overloading on cheese to prevent spilling during grilling. You can try adding chopped herbs or substituting different types of cheese for varied flavors.
