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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other cheeses?

How do I keep them from unrolling?
