Our top 5 tips and tricks
- Use fresh toast bread – Fresh bread is more elastic and easier to roll without cracking. If the bread is stale, slightly moisten it.
- Don't overfill the rolls - Too much filling can cause the rolls to open while cooking.
- Seal the edges - When rolling, gently press the edges so they stay closed during cooking.
- Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap - For best results, prepare them a day in advance and keep them wrapped in the fridge overnight.
- Cook at medium heat - a high temperature can burn the outside while leaving the inside cold

METHOD
-
Bread
Stack the slices of bread and trim off the crusts. Use the crusts for croutons. Roll each slice of bread thinly. Add a slice of ham and a thicker slice of cheese to the lower part of the bread. Tightly roll it into a roll, starting from the cheese side. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients.
-
Shape
Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap. For a nicer shape, place them in the refrigerator for one hour or overnight.
-
Cook
In a deep bowl, pour the milk and eggs and whisk well. Season with salt and pepper. Place a pan (Tefal Unlimited) over medium heat. Add butter and wait for it to melt. Before frying, dip each roll into the milk and egg mixture. Cook three to four rolls at a time, turning regularly, until the cheese melts and the outside turns golden brown. Serve warm.
