These delightful roll-ups are a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a light lunch, a satisfying snack, or even a unique appetizer. Imagine tender slices encasing a generous filling of melted, stringy mozzarella, all brought to life by a vibrant and aromatic compound butter. The heart of these roll-ups lies in the herbaceous compound butter, a symphony of sun-ripened tomatoes, briny olives, and fragrant basil.

The butter infuses every bite with a burst of fresh, savory goodness. As it melts slightly into the warm mozzarella, it creates a luscious sauce that clings to the roll-ups, ensuring each mouthful is packed with flavor. Preparing these roll-ups is a simple affair.

The most important step is creating the compound butter, which is best done in advance to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The softened butter is then combined with finely diced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and freshly chopped basil. A pinch of salt and pepper enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients.

Once the butter is ready, it's simply a matter of spreading it evenly over each slice, layering on the mozzarella, and carefully rolling them up. The texture of these roll-ups is equally appealing. The tender exterior gives way to a soft, cheesy interior, punctuated by the bursts of flavor from the tomatoes, olives, and basil.

The melted mozzarella adds a creamy richness that complements the savory butter perfectly. They are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate, making them a welcome addition to any table. Enjoy them immediately for the ultimate experience of warm, melted cheese and fragrant herbs, or pack them for later.

They're delicious either way!
