Questions & Answers

Can I make these roll-ups vegetarian?

Yes, simply omit the deli meats and increase the cheese amount or add roasted vegetables for a satisfying alternative.

What is the best bread to use for these roll-ups?

Soft white sandwich bread works well, but whole wheat or multigrain breads add extra fiber and a heartier texture.

How do I keep the roll-ups from falling apart?

Use a tight rolling technique and slice carefully with a sharp knife, ensuring the ingredients stay neatly packed inside.

Can these be prepared in advance?

Yes, prepare and slice them ahead, then store covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness until serving.

What dips pair well with these star-shaped roll-ups?

Honey mustard, ranch dressing, or a tangy vinaigrette complement the flavors nicely without overpowering them.
