Grilled Cheese Rolls

Ingredients:
- 12 slices whole wheat bread
- 12 slices american cheese
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 6 Tablespoons cream cheese, softened
We love dipping these snack rolls in ketchup!
Directions:
Using a cutting board and a bread knife, cut off the crusts of each slice of bread. (Don’t throw them away – save them to make homemade bread crumbs!) Flatten each of the bread squares using a rolling pin. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese on each bread square, following by a slice of cheese. Roll up bread, pressing tightly while rolling. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Place rolls seam side down in skillet and cook for approximately 5 minutes, rolling so that each side has browned and cheese is melted. Transfer to a paper towel lined cooking rack. Cool slightly before serving.
Freezing Directions:
Follow directions above. Cool completely. Transfer to a baking sheet and flash freeze. After frozen, transfer to quart size freezer storage bag. Label and freeze. TO SERVE: Remove desired number of rolls from bag. Reheat in microwave, oven or skillet until heated through.
Servings: 12 rolls

These are so cute. My kids don’t eat much but they took right to these! =)
WOW! Oh, the possibilities (like spreading on some mushed-up sardines)!
Dark chocolate and sea salt sounds divine, thank you!
Dark chocolate and sea salt!
Oooh! I love this idea. Would mozzarella work for dipping into spaghetti sauce?
I think Mozzarella cheese would be a great option as well! Let us know how it turns out!
These were a hit in my house. My 3 year old did all the prep with a little help and then I fried them.
We cut them into ‘sushi’ and he ate them with chopsticks lol
excuse me…whats american cheese? is it like kraft singles? or just regular cheddar cheese?
Yes american are the singles you can get. You can substitute cheddar just slice thinly.
This was a disaster for me! Way too much butter to fry them in and the cheese melted out and they burnt so I tossed them out. Any tips?
Ashlee-
Wow – I am not sure what happened! Next time maybe cut down on the butter, frying just until they turn golden brown so the chueese doesn’t melt out!
