These golden bread rolls hide a warm ham and cheese centre under a crisp Parmesan crumb. They use everyday sandwich bread and cook in only ten minutes, making them a cheerful snack, quick lunch, or easy treat to share when something savoury sounds good.

What you'll need.

  • 8 slices soft sandwich bread
  • 8 thin slices ham
  • 120 g sliced cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 60 g breadcrumbs
  • 25 g Parmesan, finely grated
  • Cooking spray or a little oil

How to make it.

  1. Cut the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice firmly with a rolling pin.
  2. Place ham and cheese on each slice, then roll up tightly with the seam underneath.
  3. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a second bowl.
  4. Dip each roll in egg, then coat it evenly with the crumb mixture.
  5. Lightly oil the rolls and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and golden.

My tips.

Roll the bread firmly and place it seam-side down first so the filling stays neatly inside. For a vegetarian variation, replace the ham with roasted pepper or thinly sliced tomato.

Good to know.

Can I assemble the rolls ahead?
Yes. Keep them covered in the refrigerator for several hours and crumb them just before cooking.

Which cheese works best?
Use a cheese that melts well, such as Cheddar, Gouda, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese.

What can I serve with them?
They are lovely with tomato soup, a green salad, or a small bowl of mustard for dipping.
