Description
This Hawaiian roll grilled cheese features sweet, pillowy rolls toasted to a golden crisp, filled with molten Monterey Jack cheese for a comforting bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (~113 g)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Optional: Sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon (to layer inside)
Instructions
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread a thin layer of softened unsalted butter on the insides of both the top and bottom halves of each roll.
- Place the bottom halves of the rolls in the skillet, buttered side down. Fill with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and optional tomato slices or crispy bacon.
- Press down slightly with the top halves.
- Grill until the bottoms are golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3–4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for another 3–4 minutes, until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, slice between rolls if attached, and serve hot.
