Description
Grilled Cheese Roll-Ups are buttery, crisp, and cheesy skillet rolls made with soft bread, shredded cheese, optional ham, and a quick 18-minute cooking time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices soft white bread or soft sandwich bread
- 1 cup thinly shredded cheddar, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or American-style melting cheese
- 6 thin slices ham, optional
- 2 tablespoons butter, plus a little extra if the skillet looks dry
- Tomato soup, ranch, marinara, or ketchup for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Trim the crust from each slice of bread and save the crusts for breadcrumbs or toast sticks.
- Roll each bread slice flat with a rolling pin until thin and flexible.
- Sprinkle a light layer of shredded cheese over each slice, leaving a small border at the far edge.
- Add one thin slice of ham, if using, and press it gently into the cheese.
- Roll each slice tightly from one side to the other and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat and melt the butter.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet so they seal as they cook.
- Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning often with tongs, until all sides look golden and crisp.
- Move the roll-ups to a cutting board and rest for 1 minute.
- Cut in half if desired and serve warm with tomato soup, ranch, marinara, or ketchup.
Notes
- Nutrition estimate includes ham.
- One serving equals 2 uncut roll-ups or 4 halves.
- Use soft, fresh bread for the easiest rolling.
- Do not overfill the bread or the cheese may leak into the skillet.
- Save the trimmed crusts for breadcrumbs, toast sticks, or another snack.
