Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 6 slices of bread
- 1 cup thinly shredded cheese (any melty cheese like cheddar or mozzarella)
- 6 thinly sliced pieces of ham (optional)
Cooking
- 2 tbsp of butter
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts off the bread slices, then use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly until thin and flat.
- Add the filling: Spread a portion of shredded cheese evenly over each flattened bread slice. If using ham, place one thin slice on top of the cheese.
- Roll up the bread: Starting from one end, carefully roll each bread slice tightly into a cylinder shape, enclosing the cheese and ham inside.
- Heat the pan and melt butter: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Cook the roll-ups: Place the roll-ups seam side down in the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until all sides are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious, melty snack or meal.
Notes
- Use any type of bread you like, but white sandwich bread works best for rolling.
- The cheese can be substituted with your favorite kinds like mozzarella, Swiss, or a cheese blend.
- Adding ham is optional; you can also add other fillings like turkey, bacon, or vegetables.
- To ensure the cheese melts evenly, cook over medium heat and don’t rush flipping.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
