Ingredients
- 10 slices cheddar cheese yellow, white, or marble
- 10 slices white toast bread
- 2-3 tbsp butter
Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Trim the crusts off each slice of white bread.
- Using a rolling pin (or a sturdy glass if you don’t have one), flatten each slice to about ¼-inch thick.
Assemble the Roll Ups
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each flattened bread slice.
- Roll the bread tightly around the cheese, ensuring the seam is secure.
Cook the Roll Ups
- Melt 2–3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the cheese roll ups in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crispy. (Cook in batches if needed.)
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter.
Serve
- Serve warm, paired with tomato soup, ketchup, or a festive dipping sauce for your Independence Day party.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a patriotic touch.
Notes
- No rolling pin? Flatten bread with the palm of your hand or a heavy glass.
- Cheese variety: Experiment with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor in your cheese roll.
- Keep them crispy: Serve immediately for the best texture, as cheese roll ups are freshest hot off the skillet.
- Make it festive: For Independence Day, serve with red (ketchup), white (ranch), and blue (blueberry sauce) dips for a patriotic flair.
