Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese Recipe
Introduction
Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese is a simple, delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Sweet and fluffy rolls combined with gooey melted cheese make for a perfect snack or quick meal.

Ingredients
- Hawaiian rolls (6 to 8 rolls, split in half)
- Cheese (6 to 8 slices, your choice)
- Butter (for spreading)
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place a slice of cheese on the bottom halves. Top with the other halves to form sandwiches.
- Step 2: Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

- Use a combination of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for a richer taste.
- Lightly brush garlic butter on the outside for a savory twist.
Storage
Store any leftover grilled cheese sandwiches wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to restore crispness and melt the cheese again.

Ingredients
- 8 Hawaiian rolls
- 8 slices of cheese (such as cheddar, American, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact to create sandwich bases.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each roll and then cover it with the top half.
- Butter the Rolls: Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of each assembled sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to your liking.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot for the best melty, gooey grilled cheese experience.
Notes

- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or herbs to the butter before spreading.
