Ingredients
→ For the Rollups
- 01 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 02 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 03 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 04 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, optional
→ For the Garlic Butter
- 05 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 06 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 07 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 08 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried parsley
- 09 1/4 tsp salt
→ Optional Dipping Sauces
- 10 Marinara sauce
- 11 Garlic herb sauce
- 12 Ranch dressing
- 13 Spicy ketchup
Steps
Step 01
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
Step 02
Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread until thin and even. This helps the rollups stay sealed and crispy.
Step 03
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly across the bottom third of each bread slice. Roll the bread tightly from the cheese side up to form a log. Seal the edge with a little melted butter if needed.
Step 04
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Mix well to infuse the butter with flavor.
Step 05
Place each rollup seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush generously with garlic butter. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. If using an air fryer, cook at 360°F (180°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Step 06
Let cool for a minute, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- Use soft bread to ensure easy rolling and seamless cheese retention.
- Seal edges tightly with a bit of melted butter to avoid unrolling.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
- Brush rollups generously with garlic butter for enhanced flavor and crispiness.
- Consider using an air fryer for a crispier exterior with less baking time.
