Bread
- 8–10 slices of soft white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
Cheese
- 8–10 slices of your favorite melting cheese such as Cheddar, American, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or Provolone
Butter
- 4–5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted (salted butter can be used instead)
- 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.
- Add Cheese: Place one slice of your chosen cheese onto each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 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.
- Heat Butter: In a skillet or pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it sizzles but does not burn.
- 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.
- 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.
