Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 8 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 8 slices American or cheddar cheese
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
Optional Seasonings
- Garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor (optional)
Instructions
- Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it is thin and pliable for rolling.
- Add Cheese: Place one slice of American or cheddar cheese on each flattened bread slice, trimming the cheese if needed for a perfect fit.
- Roll Up Bread and Cheese: Tightly roll up each slice, pressing the edge to seal the roll and keep the cheese inside during cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the softened butter, allowing it to melt completely.
- Cook the Roll Ups: Place the roll ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning carefully until all sides are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with dipping sauces like marinara or ranch.
Notes
- Use different cheeses such as mozzarella or provolone for a variation in flavor and texture.
- Add a slice of deli ham or turkey inside before rolling for a more substantial snack or light meal.
- Serve alongside tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauces like marinara or ranch to enhance the experience.
