Italian Cheese Roll-ups
Ingredients:
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices pepperoni or salami
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- Italian seasoning
- Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce for dipping
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange the slices of cheese on the pan. Layer the pepperoni or salami along the center of each cheese slice, place a leaf or two of basil on top, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place the sheet pan in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese starts to crisp around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and quickly and carefully roll each cheese slice diagonally to form a cylinder shape. Use a spatula to avoid burning your fingers.
- Allow the cheese to cool slightly, then slice each roll-up in half and sprinkle with more Italian seasoning. Serve with your favorite Primal Kitchen marinara sauce for dipping!
Buffalo Chicken Cheese Roll-ups
Ingredients:
- 3 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 oz. cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1½ tablespoons Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing
- Primal Kitchen Jalapeño Buffalo or Buffalo Sauce (to taste), plus extra for dipping
- Sliced green onion for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange the slices of cheddar cheese on the pan. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded chicken breast, celery, Ranch Dressing, and Buffalo Sauce (to taste). Place a dollop of the chicken mixture in the center of each cheese slice.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese starts to crisp on the outer edges.
- Remove from the oven and quickly and carefully roll each cheese slice diagonally to form a cylinder shape. Use a spatula to prevent any accidental burns.
- Once the cheese rolls have slightly cooled, slice them in half and garnish with sliced green onion. Serve with Buffalo Sauce or Ranch Dressing for dipping!
Tips:
- Keep a close eye on the cheese slices while they cook in the oven to prevent burning or becoming too gooey to shape properly.
- Feel free to experiment with different combinations of cheese, fillings, and dipping sauces according to your preferences.
