How to cook Ham and Cheese Rolls

Step 1

Finely chop the herbs.

Step 2

Grate the cheese and garlic.

Step 3

Then grate the boiled egg.

Step 4

Add herbs and mayonnaise to the grated cheese and egg. Salt and pepper. Mix the filling thoroughly.

Step 5

Cut the ham into thin slices. If you cut lengthwise rather than crosswise, you will get ham slices that are convenient for rolling up. You can cut off any extra "roundness".

Step 6

Place the sliced ham on a board for easy rolling.

Step 7

Carefully place the filling over the ham.

Step 8

Once the filling has been placed on each piece of ham, begin to roll the ham.

Step 9

Place the rolled up rolls in a row, close to each other, so that they do not unroll.

Step 10

If the rolls still unroll, you can fasten them with toothpicks. Done! Serve!

Ham and Cheese Rolls - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the mayonnaise with a healthier alternative?

Yes! You can replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for a lighter, protein-rich filling. Adjust seasoning as needed.

How long do ham and cheese rolls last in the fridge?

Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best freshness, place a damp paper towel over them to prevent drying.

Can I make these vegetarian-friendly?

Absolutely! Replace the ham with thin slices of grilled eggplant or zucchini, and use a plant-based cheese for a fully vegetarian version.

What’s the best way to slice the ham for easy rolling?

Cut the ham lengthwise into thin, rectangular strips (about 1/8-inch thick) for flexibility. Trim any rounded edges to make rolling smoother.

Can I freeze these rolls for later?

Yes, but freeze them unfilled (just rolled ham) and add the filling fresh after thawing to avoid a soggy texture. They’ll keep for 1 month.

How can I make these rolls low-carb?

Skip the grated boiled egg and use almond flour or cream cheese to thicken the filling. Opt for sugar-free ham to reduce carbs further.

What are some creative serving suggestions?

Serve them as appetizers with toothpicks, or layer them in a bento box with pickles and crackers for a picnic-friendly snack.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese to save time?

Pre-shredded cheese works, but freshly grated cheese melts and blends better into the filling for a creamier texture.

How do I prevent the rolls from unraveling?

Arrange them seam-side down tightly in a dish, or chill for 20 minutes before serving to help them hold their shape.

Apricot and gooseberry jam

Total Reviews:

The combination of sunny apricot and amber gooseberry is already picturesque in itself. Since it is difficult to catch the moment of optimal ripeness of gooseberries, they are often picked while still green and sour. In this case, this is what we nee
