Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering your Hawaiian rolls and cheese of choice, ensuring you have everything ready for assembly. Carefully slice each roll in half, creating a pocket for the cheese.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Generously butter the insides of each roll to ensure a crisp, golden exterior.
  3. Lay one half of each buttered Hawaiian roll directly in the pan, pile on your chosen cheese, and top with the other roll half.
  4. Cook the sandwiches on one side for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. If the cheese isn’t melting well, cover the skillet briefly to trap heat and steam.
  6. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet once golden and crispy, let cool for a minute, then slice in half to reveal the melted cheese.
