Description
A fun twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, these crispy roll-ups are packed with melted cheese and make for a delightful finger food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free)
- 1 cup thinly shredded cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- 6 thinly sliced ham (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
Instructions
- Prep the bread: Flatten each slice using a rolling pin or heavy pan.
- Layer the cheese (and ham): Place 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center of each slice, add ham if using.
- Roll it up: Carefully roll the bread tightly from one edge.
- Melt butter: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Sear the roll-ups: Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet, sear for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish cooking: Flip, add the remaining butter, and cook until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve: Cut each roll-up in half or into bite-sized pieces.
Notes
Serve with dipping sauces like tomato soup, spicy ranch, or marinara. Experiment with different cheeses and fill-ins for unique flavors!
