Fried Ham and Cheese Bread Roll

I have been cooking the same dishes for weeks now and can't seem to find a recipe to experiment. Browsing through internet looking for something to do today. I was on Facebook, checking my feed when I saw this recipe on a group that I am a member of. I tried to think of a way to experiment on it but I was thinking this is a very simple dish and there is no need for a "revision".

This bread roll can either be served as a snack or a meal, especially for your kids. It can also be served as a party food, an appetizer or for your kids "baon" for school.

Below is the recipe for fried ham and cheese bread roll.

Ingredients

1     pack      Bread loaf, white or honey wheat
1     lb           Sliced ham
1    pack       American cheese slices
2     pcs         Egg, beaten
1     cup         breadcrumbs
Toothpicks
Oil for frying



Procedure



In a flat surface, flatten the bread covered with cling wrap. Cut the crust on all sides.

Place cheese, ham and mayonnaise on the bread. Roll

Dip in egg then roll on breadcrumbs.

Fry until golden brown. Serve.




As I write this blog, I have come up with some ideas to make a different version of this recipe. Instead of ham, I can use spam, because my daughter likes it. And instead of mayonnaise, I could use cheese spread or sandwich spread. Or instead of rolling it, I can make it into squares by folding it in half. Let me know how you like this recipe.

Green Goddess Mango Float

So I said on my last blog that I will make another twist on peach float recipe. I love green goddess dessert and I was thinking when I first made my peach float that I want to change the Nestle cream/condensed milk layer to green goddess. Why? Because why not? And because it will be heaven!!! Imagine two desserts into one? Irresistible!!!

So the recipe is quite simple. Instead of mixing Nestle cream with condensed milk, I used whipped cream with pistachio pudding mix powder and condensed milk. Then added some marshmallows. Yummy!! If you want my recipe for green goddess, please visit my blog. I published this recipe I think summer of last year.

I used mango this time because, first, I ran out of peaches already. And second, mangoes are on sale at Jewel for 5 pieces a dollar! So go grab those mangoes at Jewel before they ran out!

So here is the recipe for green goddess mango float.

Ingredients

2      pcs               mangoes, cute into small cubes
1      box              Honey Maid graham crackers
1      can               condensed milk
1      container     whipped cream
1      box              Jell-o pistachio flavored pudding mix
1      cup           small marshmallows

Procedure

In a big bowl, mix the whipped cream with just half the can of condensed milk, add the Jell-o pistachio powder. When thoroughly mixed, fold in the marshmallows.

Take two pieces graham crackers and make into crumbs for toppings later. Set aside.

In a serving dish. layer in the ingredients. First, graham crackers on the bottom, then the green goddess mix, then mangoes. Make at least three layers.

On the top, after putting the green goddess mix, sprinkle first with graham cracker crumbs before adding the mangoes on top.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, Serve cold.

As usual, this dessert was a success. My daughter loved it!! I wonder what else I can do to twist this recipe? Hmmm...

Peach Float

My friend has a peach tree in her front yard and every summer we always look forward to its fruits. It never disappoints. It always gives sweet and delicious peaches year after year. My first share was more than two dozens!! Believe me the tree bears dozens of fruits, a lot has already fallen on the ground because it was too much. And my friend told me to please get the rest from her tree. So I went a few days ago, more fruits are already on the ground, but I was able to get at least a dozen.

My daughter loves peaches, and I thought of making peach float, a recipe similar to mango float or fruit float. My daughter loved it! She almost finished everything!! That's how good it was!!

Mango/fruit float is a Filipino dessert. It is sometimes called crema de fruta, mango royale or icebox cake. It consists of layers of graham crackers, fresh fruits and a combination of Nestle Cream and condensed milk. It is very easy to make. And a good dessert on this hot summer.
