Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 6 slices cheese (American, cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened or melted
Instructions
- Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until thin to make it easier to roll and ensure a crisp texture when cooked.
- Add Cheese: Place one slice of cheese on each piece of flattened bread. Trim the edges if necessary to fit the bread evenly and prevent overhang during rolling.
- Roll Up Bread and Cheese: Roll up each slice tightly into a log shape and press gently along the seam to seal the roll and keep the cheese inside during cooking.
- Butter the Rolls: Spread softened butter or brush melted butter on the outside of each roll to promote a golden brown and crispy crust when cooked.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the roll-ups evenly without burning.
- Cook the Roll Ups: Place the roll ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning carefully to brown all sides evenly and melt the cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure to press the seam well to prevent the cheese from leaking out while cooking.
- Use a spatula to turn the roll ups gently to keep their shape intact.
- Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for added flavor.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a little garlic powder or Italian herbs on the buttered rolls before cooking.
- Serve with marinara, ranch, or honey mustard dipping sauces for added taste.
