Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 6 slices of bread
- 1 cup thinly shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 6 thinly sliced ham slices (optional)
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Cut the crusts off each of the 6 bread slices. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten each slice until thin and pliable.
- Add the fillings: Place a thin layer of shredded cheese on each flattened bread slice. If using ham, add one thin slice on top of the cheese.
- Roll them up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll each bread slice tightly around the cheese (and ham) to form a roll-up. Pinch the edges lightly to seal.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat, making sure it coats the bottom completely for even cooking.
- Cook the roll-ups: Place the roll-ups seam side down in the hot buttered pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted inside. Rotate carefully to avoid unrolling.
- Serve warm: Remove from the pan and let cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve immediately for best melty texture.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type to your preference or dietary needs.
- Adding ham is optional; you can replace it with turkey, bacon, or create vegetarian roll-ups with just cheese and veggies.
- For easier rolling, slightly toasting or softening the bread helps prevent tearing.
- To keep roll-ups sealed, you can use a toothpick if necessary, just remove before serving.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread while melting the cheese thoroughly.
