Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of soft sandwich bread (white or brioche)
- 8 slices of deli ham (smoked or honey ham)
- 8 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Raspberry jam for dipping
Instructions
- Trim the crusts off 8 slices of sandwich bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice until it’s thin but not tearing.
- Place one slice of deli ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of flattened bread. Roll tightly starting from one end, pressing gently to seal the seam.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then place it seam-side down in the heated skillet.
- Cook each roll-up for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully turn them over.
- Remove from the skillet and place the roll-ups on a serving platter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam for dipping.
Notes
[‘Flatten the bread evenly to avoid tearing.’, ‘Seal the roll-ups well to keep them intact during frying.’, ‘Fry the roll-ups in batches to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Monitor the heat to avoid burning the roll-ups.’, ‘Use room temperature butter for even coating in the skillet.’]
