Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Step 2: Prepare the Ham and Cheese Filling
Step 3: Prepare the Bread
Flatten the bread:
Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten each slice of bread. This will make it easier to roll them up later. You want the bread to be as flat as possible without breaking.
Lightly brush the bread with the egg mixture:
To help keep the filling inside the bread during cooking, lightly brush the edges of each flattened bread slice with a bit of the beaten egg mixture. This will act as a seal when you roll them up.
Step 4: Fill and Roll the Bread
Add the filling:
Place a spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened bread slice. Spread it evenly across the surface, making sure not to overfill, as this can make the rolls difficult to seal.
Roll the bread:
Carefully roll each slice of bread into a tight log, ensuring the filling stays inside. To keep the rolls sealed, you can use a toothpick to hold them together while frying. Alternatively, pressing the edges firmly will also help them stay closed.
Step 5: Cook the Roll-Ups
Fry the roll-ups:
Place the roll-ups in the skillet, seam-side down first to ensure they stay sealed. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs or a spatula. Cook until all sides are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 6-8 minutes in total.
Cook until golden brown:
