Grilled Cheese Roll Ups
Description
This Grilled Cheese Roll Ups recipe starts by trimming and flattening white bread slices to a quarter-inch thickness to make rolling easier. Each flattened slice is topped with a cheddar cheese slice—specifically a Wisconsin cheddar for its flavor—and rolled tightly. The rolls are then pan-fried in unsalted butter over medium-high heat, ensuring each side attains a golden crust while the cheese melts thoroughly inside.
The frying process produces a crispy outer layer contrasting with the creamy, melted cheddar center. These roll ups serve as a quick and convenient alternative to traditional grilled cheese sandwiches, making them suitable as snacks or appetizers.
Substitutions can include whole wheat or whole grain bread and a variety of cheeses such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella, allowing for customization of flavor and melt quality. The rolls should be served immediately to enjoy their crisp texture and gooey cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 lices white bread crusts trimmed
- 8 lices cheddar cheese Wisconsin origin
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
Instructions
- Using a rolling pin, flatten bread squares to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Place cheese slice on top of each slice of bread, rolling up tightly.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add roll ups to the skillet, cooking until all sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Whole wheat or whole grain bread can be substituted for white bread to add fiber and a nuttier taste.
- Various cheeses such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella can replace cheddar to tailor flavor and meltiness.
