Instructions
How to Cook Ham and Cheese Rolls
- Remove the toasted skin of the tasty bread slices by using a knife and cutting out the edges.
- Using a rolling pin or a cylindrical jar or glass, roll the bread until it becomes flat. This is done to close the pores and so that is can be easily rolled.
- On a clean flat surface, lay a piece of flattened bread and put on top a piece of ham and cheese stick.
- Then roll the bread like a jellyroll with the ham and cheese inside. Secure the roll with 2 to 3 toothpicks on both ends and the center.
- Prepare 2 plates containing beaten eggs and the other, bread crumbs. Dip the rolls in the beaten eggs first until well coated then dredge in bread crumbs. Do the same procedure on the rest of the rolls.
- Heat oil in a pan deep enough for frying the rolls. Then fry the rolls until golden brown.
- Upon serving, remove the toothpicks first. Then serve with mayonnaise with ketchup.

Notes
Cooking Tips of Ham and Cheese Rolls Recipe:
- Flattening Bread: Ensure your bread slices are flattened evenly to facilitate easy rolling and sealing, preventing any filling from escaping during frying. This step ensures uniformity in your rolls, resulting in a more professional presentation.
- Toothpick Securing: Use toothpicks to secure the ends and center of the rolls firmly, ensuring they hold their shape throughout the frying process for perfectly intact and appetizing results. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving to avoid any unexpected crunches.
- Coating Method: Opt for a combination of beaten eggs and breadcrumbs for coating the rolls, providing a golden, crispy exterior that complements the gooey cheese and savory ham inside, creating a delightful texture contrast. This coating method adds flavor and texture complexity to your rolls, elevating them to a whole new level of deliciousness.
