Hot Roll-Ups
Hot Roll-Ups are savory, cheesy snacks with a hint of heat from hot sauce, ideal for parties or casual gatherings. They feature a flavorful mixture of Treet, cheese, and onion rolled inside bread, then baked to golden perfection. A delicious, crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Treet, grated cheese, chopped onion, and hot sauce together.
- Cut the crusts from the slices of bread.
- Roll each bread slice flat with a rolling pin and spread with the meat mixture.
- Roll up jelly roll fashion and cut each into halves or thirds.
- Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Brush the rolls with melted butter and garnish with paprika.
- Broil about 8 inches from the heat until golden brown and cheese melts.
- Serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a bit of cream cheese or sour cream to the mixture. If you don’t have Treet, any similar processed meat or even a vegetarian substitute can work well. Experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor. If you're short on time, pre-sliced cheese can save you the grating step.
Serving Suggestions
These Hot Roll-Ups make a fantastic appetizer or snack for parties. Pair them with a spicy dipping sauce or a classic marinara for added flavor. They also go well with a fresh salad or a side of Potatoes Chantilly for a more substantial meal. Consider serving them alongside a refreshing drink to balance the richness of the rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10-15 minutes. For a crispier texture, broil them for the last couple of minutes to refresh the outer layer.

Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but uncooked roll-ups. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure they are heated through.
