Ham And Cheese On Doggie Rolls
A savory hot sandwich featuring ham, cheese, olives, and onions, baked in soft doggie rolls for a flavorful, crowd-pleasing meal perfect for casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Toss the boiled ham, chopped onion, finely cut olives, chili sauce, cubed cheese, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and mayonnaise together in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture evenly into 12 split doggie rolls.
- Wrap each filled roll in aluminum foil and twist the ends shut.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes until heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit of cream cheese to the mixture. If you don't have olives, diced pickles can make a great substitute. You can also use leftover cooked chicken or turkey instead of ham for a different flavor. Experimenting with different cheeses, like pepper jack, can add a nice kick. This dish is similar to a classic Ham And Swiss Stromboli.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for a casual gathering or game day. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks for a balanced meal. You can also pair them with a dipping sauce like ranch or a spicy mustard. They are reminiscent of American recipes that are hearty and satisfying, making them a favorite for many.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, unwrap the rolls from the foil and place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven will keep the rolls crisper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the rolls and bake them when you're ready to serve. This makes it convenient for parties or gatherings, ensuring you have more time to enjoy with guests.
Can I freeze the filled rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the filled, unbaked rolls wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. When ready to bake, simply remove them from the freezer and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I replace the hard-boiled eggs with?
If you're looking for a substitute for hard-boiled eggs, consider using mashed avocado for creaminess, or simply omit them for a lighter version. The dish will still be delicious without them, though the texture will be slightly different.
