These crispy grilled cheese roll ups are a quick, easy, and delicious snack featuring a crunchy exterior and gooey melted cheese inside. Perfect for busy schedules, kid-friendly lunches, or party appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Sliced bread (white or whole wheat, slightly stale works best)
  • Sharp cheddar cheese (or a mix with mozzarella or pepper jack), about 1 to 1.5 ounces per roll
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, smoked paprika
  • Neutral oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. Trim the crusts off the bread slices to make rolling easier and neater. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice gently to about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Place about 1 to 1.5 ounces of shredded cheese evenly along one edge of each bread slice.
  3. Roll the bread tightly starting from the cheese edge to form a neat cylinder. Pinch the seam slightly to seal.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional seasonings like garlic powder.
  5. Dip each roll up into the egg wash, coating all sides well. Let excess drip off.
  6. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the roll ups seam side down.
  7. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, gently rolling with tongs or a spatula, until all sides are golden and crispy. Reduce heat if browning too fast before cheese melts.
  8. Transfer roll ups to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

If bread browns too fast before cheese melts, lower heat and cover pan loosely to create steam. For baking, brush roll ups with butter and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway. Store cooled roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or pan to retain crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep crunchy texture.
