One by one, slice the crusts off of each slice of bread, then use a rolling pin to flatten. Add a pinch of cheese to each slice, making sure you leave a small strip at the end to brush with butter.
Tightly but carefully roll up each slice to the end, brush with butter, then roll shut and place seam-side-down. Brush all over with butter.
Add roll ups to a dry pan seam-side-down over low-medium heat and fry until golden all over with the cheese starting to leak out. Use your tongs to frequently turn them. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your pan.

Notes
a) Bread - Really important to use soft white sandwich bread. Don't use firm bread (like Sourdough) or they won't roll properly. I also recommend staying clear of seeded bread for the same reason. b) Cheese - I use a classic Cheddar here, but Monterey Jack, Gruyere or shredded Mozzarella would all work great. You can sub the grated cheese with cheese slices, but only if they're very thin.c) Variations - I've added Marmite before which worked well, as does a slice of crispy bacon. Thin ham or prosciutto would also work well, as would a thin layer of pesto!d) Serving - I always serve these as soup dunkers with Tomato Soup! These also work nicely with a fry up to mop up some runny egg yolk.e) Calories - per roll up:
