Ingredients
Instructions
- Lay a slice of cheese on top of a slice of ham.
- Top with a cooked broccoli spear.
- Roll the ham, cheese, and broccoli into a bundle with the seam side down in a shallow baking pan.
- Heat at 350°F until the ham is heated and the cheese begins to melt.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using flavored ham or experimenting with different cheeses, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick. If you have leftover cooked vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers, they can also work well in this recipe. Ensure the broccoli is tender but not mushy to maintain texture when rolled. This dish is simple, quick, and perfect for gatherings, similar to Lynda'S Potato Salad.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham Roll-Ups make a fantastic appetizer or light meal. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or with a side of chips for crunch. They pair beautifully with American recipes like Chopped Ham And Noodle Bake or a hearty soup. For an added touch, drizzle with a bit of honey mustard or serve with dipping sauces.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but be cautious not to overheat as the cheese may become rubbery.
