Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering your ingredients for the Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for your melty cheese.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until it's warm but not smoking.
  3. Generously butter the inside of each roll, ensuring it's evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Place the bottom half of a buttered Hawaiian roll onto the skillet, then layer it with your choice of cheese. Top it with the other half of the roll.
  5. Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip and repeat for the other side.
  6. If needed, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute to help melt the cheese fully.
  7. After grilling both sides, allow the Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese to cool for a minute and then slice in half.
