Key Ingredients

Together, these ingredients come together to create a tasty Grilled Cheese Roll Up that is packed with cheesy goodness.

• Slices of white bread (gluten free): serves as the base for the sandwich and provides structure.

• Shredded sharp cheddar cheese: adds flavor and creamy texture to the sandwich. Provides a tangy, delicious taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill pan over medium heat.

Lay out one slice of bread on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of butter over the bread, making sure to cover the entire slice.

Sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the buttered bread.

Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese-covered slice.

Gently press down on the top slice of bread to help the cheese stick to it.

Spread a thin layer of butter over the top slice of bread.

Using a rolling pin, gently roll over the bread to flatten it out and seal the cheese inside. Aim for a ¼-inch thickness.

Carefully transfer the rolled up bread to the preheated grill pan. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the grill pan and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your Grilled Cheese Roll Up with a side of tomato soup or a simple green salad. This recipe is a quick and easy way to upgrade your classic grilled cheese sandwich, and the gluten-free bread makes it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

Cheese Roll Ups Expert Tips

• For the best cheese rolls, make sure to use a good quality cheese. Sharp cheddar is a great option, but you can also experiment with other types of cheese such as mozzarella or a blend of your favorites.
• Don't skimp on the butter! The butter helps to seal in the cheese and also adds flavor to the sandwich.
• Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the bread to a ¼-inch thickness. This will help to ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed and that the bread is evenly toasted.
• Grill the sandwich for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
• Let the sandwich cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the cheese to set.
• For an extra special touch, try serving your cheese rolls with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
