Ingredients
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- Wash and slice the onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
- Sauté Vegetables:
- In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, combine the olive oil, onion, mushrooms, and peppers. Cook until the onions turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Cheese Base:
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay the mozzarella cheese slices flat on the sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart and not touching.

- Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables over each slice of cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and chopped basil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese are golden brown.
- Roll and Serve:
- Allow the cheese to cool for about 2 minutes, until it’s firm enough to handle. Roll each slice into a tight cylinder.
- Serve with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic butter.
Helpful Tips
- Prevent Overcooking: Keep a close eye on the cheese while baking to prevent it from burning.
- Cooling Time: Let the cheese cool just enough to handle but not too long, or it may become difficult to roll.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat them gently before serving.
