Sandwich Components
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional: Sliced tomatoes
- Optional: Crispy bacon slices
Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through so the sandwich stays together.
- Butter the Rolls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread unsalted butter evenly on the inside surfaces of each roll half for a golden, flavorful crust.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the buttered rolls onto the heated skillet. Generously fill each with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and add any optional ingredients like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon if desired. Press the top halves down gently to secure the filling.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve Hot: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- If you prefer a more caramelized exterior, you can add a little extra butter to the skillet while grilling.
- For an added flavor twist, try mixing different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella with the Monterey Jack.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or oregano for a hint of freshness.
- Ensure the skillet is at medium heat; too high may burn the bread before the cheese melts.
- This sandwich pairs well with tomato soup or a fresh green salad.
