Mediterranean Sandwich Roll-Ups, Cold No-Cook Rolls

Mediterranean Sandwich Roll-Ups, tasty no-cook cold rolls, delicious, soft, and creamy with cheese spread, tomatoes, and olives.

I had guests for lunch and zero desire to go crazy in the kitchen 😂. So I invented these Mediterranean sandwich roll-ups, super easy cold rolls: just spread them with soft cheese like stracchino, add juicy cherry tomatoes and Taggiasca olives, and you have a fresh appetizer ready in two minutes.

I served them with a mini salad on the side and they disappeared in a flash! This no-cook version is perfect for when you want to impress without effort. Also ideal for summer buffets, aperitifs, or an impromptu picnic.

In short: sliced bread rolls filled Mediterranean-style, super easy to make, colorful to look at, and delicious to eat. And if you want to customize them, check out all my ideas below!

Extra tips
Choose soft cheeses: stracchino, robiola, or fresh cheese spread better and make the rolls creamy.
Flexible bread: the sliced bread should be elastic and soft — perfect when freshly opened.
Aim for aesthetics: use olives and cherry tomatoes of different colors and keep some basil leaves aside for decoration.
Let them rest: place the roll-ups in the fridge 10 minutes before serving, they firm up and stay fresh longer.
Creative variations: smoked provola, pesto, or marinated zucchini instead of tomatoes… all Mediterranean and clever.
