Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- Place a slice of cheese on each piece of bread and roll it up tightly.
- Mix the softened butter with garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with the garlic butter.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet and cook, turning frequently, until golden and the cheese has melted.
Tips
- Use fresh bread so it does not crack when you are rolling it up.
- If the cheese is not melting fast enough, cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds.
- Place the roll-ups in the fridge for 10 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.
