Grilled Cheese Roll Ups Recipe

4.7 from 145 reviews

Grilled Cheese Roll Ups are a fun and easy twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Using soft white bread and your favorite melting cheese, these roll ups are flattened, rolled, and pan-fried to golden, crispy perfection. Perfect as a snack or quick meal, they offer a gooey, cheesy center wrapped in a crispy buttery crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 810 slices of soft white sandwich bread (crusts removed)

Cheese

  • 810 slices of your favorite melting cheese such as Cheddar, American, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or Provolone

Butter

  • 45 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted (salted butter can be used instead)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Remove crusts from each slice of bread. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice until thin and pliable, being careful not to tear.
  2. Add Cheese: Place one slice of your chosen cheese onto each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll Up: Carefully roll the bread slice tightly around the cheese, making sure the seam is sealed to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
  4. Heat Butter: In a skillet or pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it sizzles but does not burn.
  5. Cook Roll Ups: Place the roll ups seam side down in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then turn to cook the other sides, rotating until all sides are evenly browned and the cheese is melted inside.
  6. Serve: Remove from pan and serve warm immediately for best gooey texture and crispiness.

Notes

  • For best results, use soft and fresh bread to avoid cracking when rolling.
  • Diversify cheeses for different flavors, mixing slices or using shredded cheese in moderation.
  • If using salted butter, reduce or omit additional salt in seasoning.
  • You can add extras like herbs or spices into the butter for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Serve with ketchup, marinara, or your favorite dipping sauce.
