1
Prepare the Rolls
Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half without separating them completely.
2
Add Cheese
Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
3
Butter the Rolls
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outer side of each roll's top half.
4
Cook the Cheese Melt
Place the rolls in the skillet, buttered side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown. Flip them carefully to crisp up the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Fry the Fries
Carefully add the frozen shoestring fries to the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
7
Season the Fries
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

8
Prepare the Fruit
Wash and cut the mixed fruit into bite-sized pieces. Combine them in a bowl for a fresh fruit cup.
