Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bread
  • 1 cup thinly shredded cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
  • 6 thinly sliced pieces of ham (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Trim the bread: Remove the crusts from the bread slices to create a soft surface that’s easier to roll.
  2. Roll the bread: Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten each slice of bread to make it thinner and more pliable for rolling.
  3. Add cheese and ham: Place shredded cheese evenly over each slice of bread. Add a slice of ham on top if desired for extra flavor.
  4. Roll it up: Tightly roll each slice into a log shape. Secure with toothpicks if needed to hold the roll together during cooking.
  5. Prepare skillet and butter: Heat a skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
  6. Cook the roll-ups: Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning them often with tongs to brown them evenly all around.
  7. Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm as a delicious snack or meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the shredded cheese with slices of American cheese for a different texture.
  • Ham is optional; you can omit it to make the roll-ups vegetarian.
  • Be careful when flipping to keep the rolls intact.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the rolls if they loosen while cooking.
  • Serve immediately for the best melty cheese experience.
