Description:
Simple twist to the original fluffy bread slice!
Ingredients:
1 slice processed cheese
1 small lettuce leaf
1 whole wheat bread slice
Directions:
1) Flatten bread slice with a mug or rolling pin.
2) Place cheese and lettuce leaf on top before rolling up tightly in a plastic wrap. Unwrap only when serving.
Remarks:
I wanted to play with some variation in my sandwiches and tah-dah, cheese roll-ups! Well, it's not exactly a novel idea but still.. it's a creative innovation :) Speaking of which, I'm reminded of the new term "analogs" in drug design that I've learnt today! Drug companies use the structure of previously known drugs to come up with structurally and/or functionally similar "new" drugs..
Ok enough of medicinal chemistry, back to the roll-ups. Eating my bread this way seemed to enhance the taste of the cheese as the fluffy bread is no longer in the way to overwhelm the thin slice of cheese. Additionally, the cheese seemed to be concentrated (rolled up) in one single bite which offered a texture variation from that of eating from a sandwich. I've used NTUC's house brand high-calcium cheese which boosts of possessing calcium equivalent to that of one cup of milk per slice, and it's those types which soften and melt pretty quickly, resulting in a dense cheesy taste. The lettuce added moisture and crisp which create a nice sensory alteration from the soft roll.
This roll will definitely send the pig scrambling out of its warm cosy sty early in the morning!
