Roll up tightly from the wide end to the point.
3. Finish and bake:
-
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet, point-side down.
-
Brush with a lightly beaten egg for a glossy finish (optional).

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling slightly.
4. Serve:
-
Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
✔️ Add a spoonful of pizza sauce inside each roll for extra flavor (just don’t overfill).
✔️ Want it spicy? Toss in some red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
✔️ Swap mozzarella for provolone, cheddar, or a cheese blend.
✔️ Perfect for lunchboxes or game day appetizers — just reheat in a toaster oven!
