These egg rolls are a hot ham and cheese sandwich in a crispy shell. A slice of ham and a handful of cheese get rolled up in an egg roll wrapper, then baked or fried until golden and crunchy. They are quick, cheap and wonderful dipped in honey mustard.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Egg Rolls

- Place seam side down on the pan and brush with melted butter.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.

Serving and Storing
Serve hot. Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for 5 minutes to bring back the crunch.
