Description

These Crispy and Fun Grilled Cheese Roll Ups are a playful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Flattened slices of bread are wrapped around melty cheese, then pan-fried until golden and crispy on all sides. Perfect as a quick snack or appetizer, they offer gooey cheese in every bite and pair well with various dipping sauces.


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

  1. Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until thin to make rolling easier and ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Cheese: Place one slice of cheese on each flattened piece of bread, trimming the edges if necessary to avoid excess overhang.
  3. Roll Up: Roll each bread slice tightly into a log, pressing gently to seal the edges and keep the cheese inside during cooking.
  4. Butter the Rolls: Spread softened butter or brush melted butter on the outside of each roll-up for a golden, flavorful crust.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the roll-ups.
  6. Cook: Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully to brown all sides evenly and melt the cheese inside.
  7. Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can use any kind of cheese you prefer, but American, cheddar, or mozzarella work best for melting.
  • Make sure to seal the rolls tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
  • Serve with ketchup, marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip for added taste.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat bread and low-fat cheese.
