Now, heat your skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter. I always melt enough to cover the surface, which ensures an even golden-brown crust. Once the butter is hot, gently place your cheese roll-ups seam-side down on the skillet. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. I find that keeping an eye on them while they cook helps prevent burning – the smell of toasting bread is absolutely magical!
After they’re golden on one side, flip them carefully with your spatula to brown the other side. You might want to press down gently to get a nice, even toasting. Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted inside, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for just a minute. Trust me; you don’t want to burn your tongue on that delicious molten cheese!
Finally, slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces (or keep them whole if you’re feeling indulgent) and plate them up! You can serve them as is or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or ranch. My family loves a spicy ketchup, and it pairs perfectly with the cheesy goodness!
Pro Tips for Best Results
One thing I’ve learned from making these roll-ups is to choose your cheese wisely. I’ve tested different combinations, and while sharp cheddar is my go-to, mixing in some mozzarella gives that perfect stretchy quality everyone loves. It’s like a gooey cheese pull with every bite!
Another tip I stand by is to ensure your skillet is preheated properly before placing the roll-ups in. If it’s not hot enough, the bread won’t crisp up properly, and you might end up with soggy roll-ups. No thanks!
Lastly, I’ve discovered that adding a pinch of garlic powder or Italian herbs into the butter for grilling elevates the flavor beautifully. It adds a subtle depth that really makes these roll-ups unforgettable.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Creating the perfect Grilled Cheese Roll Ups might sound easy, but there are a few common mistakes I’ve made that you should watch out for! For instance, rolling the bread too loosely can lead to cheese oozing out during cooking. I once had a big mess to clean up because I didn’t roll it tight enough. Now, I make sure to give it a good, snug roll! (See the next page below to continue…)
