Cheesy Garlic Butter Rollups with Mozzarella (Print version)

Crispy sandwich bread rollups filled with mozzarella, brushed with garlic butter, and baked until golden and gooey.

# Ingredients:

For the rollups

01 - 8 slices soft sandwich bread, crusts trimmed
02 - 1 cup (115 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

For the garlic butter

05 - 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
06 - 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
09 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For serving

11 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm marinara sauce, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Trim the crusts if desired. Use a rolling pin to flatten each bread slice into an even thin square.
03 - Place mozzarella and cheddar along the lower third of each slice. Roll tightly from the cheese side and set each rollup seam side down.
04 - Stir melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, salt, pepper, and Parmesan in a small bowl.
05 - Place the rollups on the prepared pan. Brush generously with garlic butter and bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden and crisp.
06 - Let the rollups cool for 2 minutes so the cheese settles slightly. Serve warm with marinara if using.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served hot while the mozzarella is stretchy.
02 - Air fryer option: cook at 360°F (180°C) for 7-9 minutes, turning once.
03 - Use low-moisture mozzarella to reduce leaking.
