Description

A classic grilled cheese with an island twist using buttery Hawaiian rolls and gooey Monterey Jack cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Optional: Sliced tomatoes
  • Optional: Crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, creating a pocket for the cheese.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spread butter generously inside each roll’s halves.
  3. Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the skillet and fill with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. Press down with the top halves to snugly contain the cheese.
  5. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side.
  6. Once both sides are crispy and the cheese has melted, remove from heat, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

Pair with a fresh side salad or homemade tomato soup for a complete meal.
