If you love cheesy garlic bread, these roll-ups take it to the next level. So, let’s dive in and make a batch—you won’t regret it!
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Start by trimming the crusts off each slice of bread. This helps the roll-ups hold their shape and creates a soft, even texture. Then, use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice. Flattening the bread makes it easier to roll and helps it stay together while baking.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over each flattened slice of bread. If you want a cheesier bite, feel free to add a little extra!
Carefully roll each slice of bread into a tight log. Place them seam-side down to keep them from unrolling.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the roll-ups on the sheet, seam-side down, and brush each one generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra boost of flavor.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the roll-ups turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. These are best enjoyed warm while the cheese is still gooey and melty inside. Pair them with marinara sauce for dipping, or enjoy them on their own!
Notes
- These roll-ups are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore their crispiness.
- If you like a little spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- You can make them ahead and freeze them before baking. When ready to eat, just bake from frozen for a few extra minutes.
