Recipe Instructions:

Prepare Bread: Trim the edges of the loaf of bread and set aside the trimmings.

Flatten Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it is very thin.

Roll Up: Roll the bread tightly around the bacon and cheese. Use a small brush to seal the open end of the rolled bread with beaten eggs.

Cooking Method:
-
Frying Method: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll into the beaten eggs, then roll in the grated bread trimmings until fully coated. Fry the rolls in the skillet until they are golden brown on all sides.
-
Baking Method (Healthier Alternative): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush each roll with melted butter or olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are crispy and golden.

Serve: Remove the rolls from the skillet or oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Bacon and Cheese Rolls are perfect for a quick snack or a delicious addition to any lunch spread.
Recipe Notes:
-
Variations: Experiment with different types of cheese or add a slice of tomato or avocado before rolling for extra flavor.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
