Ingredients

Scale

For the Rollups

  • 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 120 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 60 grams shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

For the Garlic Butter

  • 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Optional Dipping Sauces

  • Marinara sauce
  • Garlic herb sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Flatten Bread: Using a rolling pin, gently press each bread slice until it is uniformly thin. This step is crucial to help seal and crisp the rollups during baking.
  3. Add Cheese: Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese along the lower third of each flattened bread slice. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese as well. Roll the bread tightly from the cheese side up to create a log. Use a small amount of melted butter to seal the edge if needed.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Mix well to blend all the flavors together.
  5. Brush and Arrange: Place each rollup seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush the tops and sides of each rollup with the garlic butter mixture to ensure rich flavor and browning.
  6. Bake Rollups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, if using an air fryer, cook at 180°C (360°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Serve: Let the rollups cool slightly after baking. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as marinara, garlic herb sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy ketchup for added flavor.

Notes

  • Flattening the bread is essential for achieving a crisp, uniform texture and preventing the rollups from unrolling during baking.
  • Using a combination of mozzarella and cheddar gives a perfect balance of meltiness and sharp flavor.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory depth when included.
  • Make sure to brush the garlic butter generously for maximum flavor and a beautiful golden crust.
  • These rollups can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
