Ham Roll Ups

I love ham roll ups.  They are easy to make and have great flavor.  That is a good combination for me.   Here’s the cast of characters:

The first thing you are going to do is make the stuffing according to the package directions.

Melt the butter in the water.

Add the stuffing.

Put on the lid and let it steam.

Then take your ham and put the swiss cheese slices on top.  You can use any kind of deli ham for this.  You can see I have a couple of different varieties here.

Put a heaping tablespoon of stuffing in the center.

Then roll them up and secure them with a toothpick.  *Side note here:  If you make these earlier in the day, you can stack them on a plate and cover them with saran wrap and keep them in the fridge until you are ready for dinner.  If you do that, they “set up” so that you can really take the toothpick out of them, which is kind of nice.  If you are cooking them immediately, keep the toothpick in so they don’t unravel.   (Evidently I did not put toothpicks in these– could have been out, or just trying to see if it would work with out them. I test rules like that.) ;o)

When you have them all rolled, put your breadcrumbs on a plate.

Then make your egg wash with egg and milk.

Dip the ham rolls in the egg,

and then into the bread crumbs.

And here’s why you use the toothpicks.  Don’t be a rebel like me! ;o)

Melt your butter in a pan (I do prefer real butter to the other stuff you saw in the picture.)

and place the ham roll ups seam side down in the pan.  This seals them and keeps them from popping open.

Load your pan up.  Then turn them after a few minutes, browning them on all sides.  It does not take too long for them to brown up and the cheese to melt.

YUMMY!  These don’t look quite as good as some of my others.  But they still taste great!!  If you’re one of those picture perfect cookers, this is a great little meal idea to use when you have to take dinner into someone.
