Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley, mixing well. Set this flavorful mixture aside to brush onto your roll-ups later.
Prepare Bread Slices: Trim off the crusts from each bread slice, then use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly, creating a soft canvas for rolling.
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay each flattened slice flat and place one mozzarella cheese stick—or a generous spoonful of shredded mozzarella—along one edge. Roll the bread tightly around the cheese to form a compact roll.
Brush with Garlic Butter and Add Parmesan: Generously brush each roll-up with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Place each roll seam-side down on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops evenly with grated Parmesan cheese for a golden, savory crust.
Bake: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the garlic bread roll-ups warm, accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, try using flavored cheese like pepper jack or provolone instead of mozzarella.
These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.
