You can store the baked Ham Egg and Cheese Rolls in the fridge for up to 4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven. Because of the ham, the cooked Ham Egg and Cheese Roll Ups cannot be frozen, and this will break down the texture of the ham. But it’s so easy to make this recipe, you can whip it up in a few minutes. It’s best enjoyed fresh from the oven!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and garlic powder.
Melt the butter in a large non-stick an over medium heat.
Cook the eggs, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan with a spatula until the eggs scramble.
Add the grated cheddar.
Add the salt, chopped tomato, and spinach. Stir until cooked through.
Scoop the egg mixture out in a large bowl, and place the ham slices on a wooden board.
Place a spoonful of the mixture on the ham slice, and roll.
Pack the filled ham rolls tightly into a baking tray.
Bake for 5 minutes at 180ºC (360ºF).
You can increase this recipe, simple double the filling and the ham slices, and use a large baking sheet. It needs to be big enough so that the ham rolls lay in one single layer.
If you want to make these Ham Egg and Cheese Roll ups extra indulgent, then sprinkle over a bit of cheese before baking it in the oven.
