Stuffed Bread Rolls (with Ham and Cheese)

Sharing is caring!

Stuffed bread rolls with cheese, ham and sour cream, these make the perfect accompaniment for soup or a very popular party snack.

And I should not forget to mention that these stuffed dinner rolls are just the kind of meal that kids love most. What is not to love? Bread topped with a creamy ham and cheese mixture and baked until hot and melty. Absolutely delicious!

This must be one of the easiest recipes I have ever posted. So easy that a child could do it! And so delicious and versatile, you will keep coming back to it whenever you don’t feel like spending a long time in the kitchen or when people decide to come over on short notice.

What will you need to make these rolls?

• Well, more or fewer ingredients that one always has in the house. At least I always seem to have them!
• I prefer to make the stuffed rolls with fresh dinner rolls from the bakery, but still, I always seem to have a bag of frozen bread rolls in my freezer.
• So, bread rolls, either fresh (day old actually work best) or frozen, some ham and cheese, small bell pepper, and some sour cream.
• Chop and mix them, spread them on the bread roll halves, and bake them for 15 minutes. That’s it! And you will so love them!

Alternative toppings:

• Any kind of cold cuts you happen to have (my children love salami).
• Some soft butter, cream cheese, or double cream instead of sour cream to bind the mixture.
• Different kinds of cheese from Gouda and Cheddar to Emmental, blue cheese, or Parmesan.
• Olives, herbs, canned corn or mushrooms, and so on.
• Experiment and see what you like best!

Can you make ahead?

• Definitely. Make the filling the day before, cover the bowl well, and refrigerate it until needed.
• The bread rolls can also be bought a day in advance and be kept in a paper bag until the next day, their consistency will be then perfect for baking.
• These stuffed bread rolls are perfect to serve to a party. Make the filling in advance and keep it covered and refrigerated until ready to bake.
• All you have to do then is split the rolls, smear them and bake them shortly. And trust me, everybody will love them!

How to serve?

• Preferably immediately.
• Leftovers can be reheated in the oven.
• I almost always make these stuffed dinner rolls to serve with creamy soups. You could try them with this Broccoli Soup, this Sweet Potato Soup, or this Carrot Soup with Milk.
• Well, with any kind of simple creamy soup actually.
