Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 8 slices of white or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 8 slices of American cheese or your favorite melting cheese
Butter
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Flatten the Bread: Begin by placing the slices of bread on a clean, flat surface. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread to create an even surface for rolling.
- Add Cheese: Place one slice of cheese on top of each piece of flattened bread. Trim the cheese edges if necessary to fit the bread perfectly.
- Roll Up the Bread: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the bread with the cheese inside. Press the seam gently with your fingers to secure the roll-up.
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking.
- Melt Butter: Add the softened butter to the hot skillet and allow it to melt, coating the pan evenly.
- Cook Roll-Ups: Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Rotate for Even Crispiness: Use a spatula to gently rotate the roll-ups, ensuring all sides are toasted and crispy to your liking.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for a minute to set before serving.
- Serve: Serve the grilled cheese roll-ups warm with marinara sauce, tomato soup, or your preferred dipping sauce for a tasty accompaniment.
Notes
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread without tearing it for best results.
- Choose a cheese that melts well for a gooey center, such as American, cheddar, or mozzarella.
- Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Customize by adding herbs or spices inside the roll-up for extra flavor.
- The roll-ups can be made ahead and reheated gently in a skillet.
