OIL to taste The rolls are filled rolls, characterized by a tasty and stringy heart, ideal to bring to the table as an appetizer or second course to accompany your favorite side dish. In our recipe we propose them both fried, for an ultra-delicious version, and baked, for a lighter but equally tasty version, suitable for those who are watching their figure. Making them at home is very simple. Just remove the crust from the bread, gently crush the slices with a rolling pin and then fill them with cooked ham and thinly sliced Emmental. At this point, all you have to do is roll the bread up, let the resulting cylinders harden in the fridge for half an hour and finally pass them in the egg, previously beaten with a pinch of salt, and in the breadcrumbs. Once ready, you can decide whether to dip the rolls in boiling seed oil until they are golden and fragrant, or whether to place them on a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes: in both cases they will be delicious.
Also excellent to serve at aperitif time, as a tasty finger food, or for a party buffet, together with other savory appetizers, these delicious morsels can be customized to your liking with your favorite ingredients. Instead of Emmental, you can use scamorza, provola, dry mozzarella for pizza or other stretched curd cheeses, or you can replace the cooked cheese with speck, well-drained anchovy fillets, chopped dried tomatoes or grilled vegetables.
To optimize time, you can package the sandwiches in advance and then store them in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap, until ready to serve: the important thing, to appreciate them in all their goodness, will be to cook them when your guests arrive and eat them immediately, piping hot.
