Ingredients
Scale
Roll Ups
- 8 slices bread (soft, fluffy sandwich bread)
- 2 cups thinly shredded American cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil/mayo for basting)
- 4 slices deli ham (optional, sliced thin)
Dip
- 2 cups tomato soup (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts off your bread slices and flatten them with a rolling pin to create an even surface for rolling.
- Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle thinly shredded American cheese over each flattened slice. Add thinly sliced deli ham on top if using.
- Roll the Bread: Carefully roll each slice tightly into a log shape. Secure with toothpicks if needed to keep the roll-ups intact while cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat until it starts to bubble gently, preparing for browning.
- Browning the Roll-Ups: Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly until golden and crispy.
- Optional Toast Stick Finish: For a crunchier texture and crispier ends, allow the roll-ups to cook a bit longer on the skillet, being careful to prevent cheese from leaking out.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the roll-ups to a serving platter and serve warm with tomato soup for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute the American cheese with your favorite melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella.
- Using softened butter or coconut oil makes flipping easier and adds a nice flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the ham.
- Be sure to cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning while allowing cheese to melt fully.
- Remove toothpicks before serving to avoid any accidents.
