A New Spin on Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a timeless favorite, known for their warm, melty cheese and crispy bread. But who says the classic needs to stay the same? This recipe flips the traditional sandwich into a bite-sized treat that's crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and full of unexpected freshness. By rolling the bread instead of stacking it, you create a mini snack that's perfect for dipping or sharing.
The best part? The bread becomes extra crispy while the cheese melts just right, offering the perfect balance of textures. The addition of diced tomatoes brings a burst of freshness to the mix, cutting through the richness of the cheese and adding a delightful contrast. The marinara dipping sauce with fresh basil takes these roll-ups from delicious to divine, making them even more flavorful and satisfying.
Easy to Make, Perfect for Sharing
Making these roll-ups is simple and straightforward. Start with soft white bread—use a rolling pin to flatten it out. This step is key to making the bread more pliable, which helps when it's time to roll up the ingredients. A little effort in flattening the bread leads to a perfectly rolled-up snack that holds together well and won't fall apart when cooked.
Once the bread is ready, it's all about the fillings. Shredded cheddar cheese works beautifully because it melts easily, creating that gooey, comforting texture. The diced tomatoes should be finely chopped so they don't spill out when rolling the bread. Together, these ingredients make the perfect combination of creamy and fresh inside every bite.
When frying, start by placing the seam side down in the pan to ensure a good seal. This way, the cheese stays locked in, avoiding any mess while flipping the roll-ups. A little butter in the pan helps achieve that perfect golden-brown crispness on the outside. It's all about the crispy crunch and cheesy, gooey inside that makes these roll-ups so irresistible.
