FAQs

Q: Can I use another meat?
A: Yes. Roast turkey or ham works fine.

Q: Do I need horseradish sauce?
A: No. It adds bite but the roll ups are good without it.

Q: Can I make them ahead?
A: Yes. Roll and refrigerate, then grill when ready. For best crispness, cook just before serving.

Q: How do I keep the cheese from leaking?
A: Use one slice of cheese and do not overfill the roll. Grill seam side down first to seal.
