Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. Keep them wrapped and toast when you are ready.

What cheese melts best?

Monterey Jack melts beautifully. A mild cheddar or Havarti also works. Blend cheeses if you want more flavor.

Absolutely. Crispy bacon or thin ham slices are great. Lay meat under the cheese so it warms evenly.

How do I avoid soggy bread when adding tomato?

Pat the tomato dry with a paper towel. Toast slightly before adding tomato if you want a crisper bite.

Is there a way to make multiple sandwiches at once?

Use a larger pan or two pans. Work in batches and keep finished sandwiches warm in a low oven at 200°F on a baking sheet.

Instructions

Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half without cutting all the way through.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and butter the insides of each roll.
Place the bottom halves of the rolls on the skillet and fill generously with cheese. Press down slightly with the top halves.
Grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
Once both sides are crispy and cheese is melted, remove from heat, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

Store your sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best results. Add variations like bacon, tomato, or fresh herbs to customize.
