Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring soft sandwich bread filled with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, rolled up, brushed with a savory garlic butter mixture, and baked until golden and crisp. Perfect served warm with marinara, garlic herb sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy ketchup for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Cheese

  • 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 120 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 60 grams shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Dipping Sauces (Optional)

  • Marinara sauce
  • Garlic herb sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy ketchup

Instructions

  1. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to gently press each slice of bread until it is uniformly thin. This step helps the rollups seal properly and results in a crispier texture after baking.
  3. Assemble the Rollups: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese along the lower third of each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly starting from the cheese side upwards to form a neat log. If necessary, use a small amount of melted butter to seal the edges and keep the rolls intact during baking.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt. Mix well to blend all the flavors together.
  5. Arrange and Brush Rollups: Place the assembled rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring all surfaces are coated for maximum flavor.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Alternatively, you can air fry them at 180°C (360°F) for 8–10 minutes, turning once halfway through baking for even crisping.
  7. Serve: Let the rollups cool for a few minutes after baking. Serve warm alongside your choice of dipping sauces such as marinara, garlic herb sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy ketchup for a tasty treat.

Notes

  • You can use either white or whole wheat bread depending on your preference.
  • Removing the crusts from the bread makes rolling easier and results in a more uniform texture.
  • For extra cheesiness, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese inside or on top before baking.
  • Fresh garlic and fresh parsley enhance flavor, but dried options work well if fresh are unavailable.
  • The rollups can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add an extra minute or two to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your favorite combination.
  • For a lower fat option, use reduced-fat cheese and butter substitutes.
  • Always brush the rollups generously with garlic butter to keep them moist and flavorful.
