Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Filling
- 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 8 pieces mozzarella string cheese or cheese sticks (about 4–5 inches long)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Garnish
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
- Additional chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prep the Bread Flatten each slice of sandwich bread gently using a rolling pin, making it easier to roll and ensuring a crispy exterior.
- Add the Cheese Place one piece of mozzarella or cheese stick at the edge of each slice of bread. Roll up tightly, sealing the cheese inside.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt until well combined.
- Brush and Bake Place the roll ups seam-side-down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each roll generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
- Bake to Golden Perfection Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the roll ups are golden brown and crispy on the outside, with cheese melted inside.
- Garnish and Serve Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and a little extra parsley if desired. Let cool slightly before serving—enjoy warm!
Notes
- For extra crispy roll ups, use day-old bread.
- You can swap mozzarella for cheddar, pepper jack, or any easy-melting cheese.
- For added flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Serve with warm marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
