Ingredients
  

Hawaiian Roll Grilled Cheese Ingredients
  • 1 package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls 12-count, kept intact
  • 6 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese Freshly grated (170g)
  • 6 oz Monterey Jack Cheese Freshly grated (170g)
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted (56g)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder 5g
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes 1g

Equipment

  • 1 Serrated Knife For slicing the rolls horizontally
  • 1 Pastry Brush To apply the garlic butter glaze
  • 1 Large Non-Stick Skillet For toasting the grid of rolls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire 12-pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slab.
  2. Layer the grated sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack evenly across the bottom slab of rolls.
Cooking
  1. Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the top slab of the rolls generously with the mixture.
  2. Place the sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat. Press down with a weight and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is golden-brown and cheese is melted.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt.
Cook over medium-low heat to prevent the sugar in the rolls from burning.
