Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls (e.g., Kingโs Hawaiian)
- 8โ10 slices cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened or melted)
Optional Ingredients
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Sliced ham (as desired)
- Tomato slices (as desired)
Instructions
- Prep Rolls: Slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, being careful not to separate the individual rolls.
- Layer Cheese: Evenly place slices of cheddar cheese over the bottom half of the rolls. Add optional fillings like sliced ham or tomato slices if desired.
- Top & Press: Place the top half of the rolls back over the cheese and press gently to compact the sandwich.
- Butter: Brush the top of the rolls with softened or melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder on top for extra flavor if desired.
- Grill: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich and grill each side for 3 to 4 minutes, pressing slightly to ensure even cooking, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Slice the grilled sandwich into individual mini sandwiches and serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using smoked cheddar or adding a slice of ham.
- To add freshness, include tomato slices but be mindful they may release moisture.
- Use a panini press if you prefer even grilling and pressing all at once.
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a different flavor profile.
