HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST STRUDELS



Ham and Cheese Breakfast Strudels image

I have been going through all of my TOH magazines pulling out the recipes I had marked to try. This recipe is so versatile and can be made ahead and frozen, then just take out of bake. Can replace swiss cheese with another cheese (I like cheddar also) and could use bacon or sausage for the the ham. In first step, melt butter, could add in minced onion/shallot/garlic or red/green bell pepper to soften and then continue with recipe. Also could use light for reduced fat butter and cheeses, egg substitute and skim milk to reduce the calories. Have fun with the recipe and make it fit your family preferences!!! Update 7/31/11 - I made these this morning as written except subbing cheddar cheese for the Swiss and I added some sliced green onion. What a great breakfast or brunch recipe, as they can be made ahead, frozen and then baked on the day you want to serve it.

HAM AND CHEESE STRUDELS APPETIZER ( PAULA DEEN)



Ham and Cheese Strudels Appetizer ( Paula Deen) image

This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house. It is definitely time consuming so plan on it taking more time than you think but it is worth it. It is definitely a keeper flavor wise as the caramelized onions bring out the ham and cheeses. The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH

  • Brush the strudel with egg wash before baking. This will help the strudel brown and give it a shiny crust.
  • Serve the strudel warm. The strudel is best enjoyed warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Ham and cheese strudel is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ham and cheese, and it can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even dessert.
