Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 8 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or favorite melting cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Optional Add-ons

  • 4 slices ham, turkey, or bacon (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce (for spicy twist)
  • Spinach leaves, tomato slices, or avocado (for veggie variation)
  • Honey mustard or walnuts (for a sweet and nutty flavor)
  • Vegan cheese and plant-based spread (for dairy-free version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the batch connected if possible to assist with even grilling and easy handling.
  2. Butter the Rolls: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on the outer sides of both the top and bottom halves of the rolls to ensure a golden-brown, crispy finish.
  3. Add the Cheese: Layer your choice of cheese slices inside the rolls. You can mix cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for extra gooeyness and richer flavor.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich on a heated skillet or griddle set to medium heat. Press gently with a spatula and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from heat, slice if desired, and serve immediately for the best melty, comforting experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cheese for faster and more even melting.
  • Grill on low to medium heat to melt cheese thoroughly without burning bread.
  • Butter generously to enhance crispiness and flavor.
  • Cover the pan while grilling to trap heat and melt cheese quicker.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like gouda, pepper jack, or Swiss for new flavors.
