Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls (soft, slightly sweet dinner rolls)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted, for toasting)
  • 612 cheese slices (cheddar or American, or your choice)
  • Optional: mayonnaise (for spreading on outside for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet: Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure even toasting when cooking the sandwiches.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Butter the outside: Generously spread melted butter on the outside of each assembled sandwich to achieve a golden, crispy finish when cooked.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
