   • Leave a small strip of bread at one end.

3. Roll Up the Bread

   • Tightly roll the bread from the cheese-covered end to the plain end.
   • Make sure to roll firmly but gently so the bread doesn’t tear.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Tips and Tricks

• 
  

  If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a sturdy cup or glass to flatten the bread. You can even use your hands.

  
  
• 
  

  Cheese choice: Use shredded cheese for easier rolling. Cheddar and mozzarella work great.

  
  
• 
  

  Roll the bread tightly to keep the cheese from leaking out.

  
  
• 
  

  Melt butter for a crispy and golden exterior.

  
  
• 
  

  Avoid firm bread like sourdough—it will crack. Use soft and fresh slices instead.

  
  

Storing

• 
  

  Grilled cheese roll-ups are best eaten fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

  
  
• 
  

  To reheat: Place them in a skillet over medium heat until warm and crispy again. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the bread soggy.
