Steps
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature while you prepare the ingredients for the sandwiches. Gather roast beef slices, cheese, and your choice of bread rolls.
- Slice the bread rolls in half and set them aside. Layer slices of roast beef on the bottom half of each roll, followed by a slice of cheese.
- Place the top half of the bread rolls over the cheese. Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasted. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, homemade roast beef and cheese sandwiches.
