Ingredients
- 12 slices white bread
- ¼ cup seedless strawberry jam
- 12 slices ham
- 4 ounces melting cheese (Eden or Velveeta), cut into ¼-inch x 3-inch strips
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- canola oil
Instructions
- With a knife, trim edges of the bread and with a rolling pin, flatten until very thin.
- Spread a thin layer of jam on the top side of the bread slice.
- Arrange a piece of ham over the jam and place cheese strip at the edge of the bread.
- Roll bread into a log to enclose filling and press lightly on seams to completely seal. Secure with toothpicks, if needed, and remove when ready to dredge in bread crumbs.
- Repeat with remaining bread slices.
- In a bowl, combine eggs and milk and whisk together until well beaten. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and Italian seasoning.
- Dip bread rolls in egg mixture and roll in bread mixture, patting down crumbs to fully coat.
- In a wide, thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inches deep of oil. Carefully place breaded rolls seam side down and fry, turning on sides as needed, until golden and crunchy.
- Remove from pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve hot.
Notes
To help the breading stick and keep the cheese from leaking out during frying, arrange breaded rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for a few minutes.
