Preparation Time:
-
Prep time: 5 minutes
-
Cook time: 10–12 minutes
-
Total time: 15–17 minutes
Ingredients:
-
8 slices of deli ham (thinly sliced, cooked)
-
8 slices of cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, or gouda)
-
Optional: 4 small tortillas or crepes (cut in half) — for wrapping if desired
-
Garnish (optional): Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if cooking on the stove.
-
Lay out the ham slices on a clean surface. If you’re using tortillas or crepes, place half a tortilla under each ham slice.
-
Add the cheese: Place one slice of cheese on top of each ham slice (or inside the tortilla/crepe if using). You can also use shredded cheese if preferred.
-
Roll tightly: Roll each one up like a cigar, starting from one end and rolling toward the other to enclose the cheese.
-
Arrange the roll-ups in a baking dish or skillet, seam-side down. If baking, line the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
-
Bake or pan-sear:
-
Oven: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.
-
Stovetop: Cook in a dry skillet, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides and the cheese is melted inside.
-
-
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
