Ham cheese french toastie roll ups
Ingredients
- 6 slices fresh sandwich bread (I used white, but you could use wholemeal, wholegrain etc) (see notes)
- 3 slices of melting cheese, each cut into 4 strips (I used Jarlsberg. Tasty, cheddar, gruyere and mozzarella are also great), or 3/4 cup grated melting cheese (see notes)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 egg (large)
- 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
- 2 small slices of ham (around 50g / 1.5 oz)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1
Optional - cut the crusts off the bread.
- 2
Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread.
- 3
Divide the ham between the bread and lay it out in a strip about 1cm / 1/3" wide along the bottom edge of the bread. Cut to fit neatly if necessary - that's what I did.
- 4
Top each with 2 slices of cheese, or scatter grated cheese along the ham.
- 5
Starting from the bottom, roll the bread up and finish with the seam side down.
- 6
Place the egg, milk and salt in a flat dish and use a fork to whisk.
- 7
Heat butter in a large fry pan over medium high heat.
- 8
Dip the roll ups in the egg, rolling to coat all over. Then place in the fry pan. Place all roll ups in the same pan.
- 9
Cook the roll ups for 45 seconds to 1 minute, then turn 90 degrees. Repeat again 2 more times (so 4 sides of each roll up is browned).
- 10
Remove from pan and serve immediately.
