Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (soft, slightly sweet dinner rolls)
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted, for toasting)
- 6–12 cheese slices (cheddar or American, or your choice)
- Optional: mayonnaise (for spreading on outside for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet: Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure even toasting when cooking the sandwiches.
- Prepare the rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves separated. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside surfaces of each half for an extra crisp and evenly browned crust.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place your chosen cheese slices between each bottom and top half of the roll. Press the top half down gently to secure the sandwich.
- Butter the outside: Generously spread melted butter on the outside of each assembled sandwich to achieve a golden, crispy finish when cooked.
- Cook the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Flip carefully and continue cooking until the bread is toasted and the cheese inside is melted perfectly.
- Serve warm: Remove from the heat and serve immediately to enjoy the most melty, gooey texture and warm flavor.
Notes
- Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even melting of the cheese.
- Press the sandwiches gently with a spatula while cooking to promote thorough cheese melting.
- Don’t skimp on butter for the crispiest and most golden crust.
- Use high-quality melting cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately for optimal taste and texture.
