- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- White bread or whole wheat bread (or sourdough or gluten-free bread)
- Cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese or American cheese (or dairy-free cheese alternatives)
- Unsalted butter (or olive oil or non-dairy butter substitute)
- Optional add-ins: cooked bacon bits, sliced tomatoes, herbs like basil
Instructions
- Start by trimming the crusts off your slices of bread. This helps the roll ups stay together and makes them easier to eat.
- Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread. This step is crucial as it allows the bread to roll up more easily and creates a delightful texture.
- Place a slice of your favorite cheese (or a mix) on each flattened slice of bread. Make sure to leave a little space at the edges to make rolling easier.
- Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly around the cheese. You can secure them with a toothpick if you like, but they usually hold together well on their own.
- Spread a generous amount of butter (or your chosen substitute) on the outside of each roll up. This will help them achieve that perfect golden crust when grilled.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the roll ups seam-side down in the pan and grill until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
- Once they’re beautifully browned, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice them in half for easier eating, and serve hot!
