Ham Egg Cheese Breakfast Rolls (Printer-Friendly Version)

Layers of ham, eggs, and cheese baked in pizza dough for a warm, satisfying start to the day.

# Required Ingredients:

→ For the Rolls

01 - 500 g store-bought pizza dough, room temperature
02 - 6 large eggs
03 - 150 g deli sliced cheddar cheese
04 - 150 g deli ham, thinly sliced

→ Butter Topping

05 - 30 g unsalted butter
06 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Heat a nonstick pan over low heat, add a small knob of butter, and pour in the eggs. Stir gently until just set but still creamy, then remove from heat.
02 - Dust a clean surface lightly with flour. Roll out the pizza dough to a rectangle approximately 25 x 38 cm. Pat gently to maintain a fluffy texture after baking.
03 - Evenly distribute one third of the scrambled eggs along the long edge of the dough. Top with a third of the cheddar slices and a third of the ham, ensuring full edge-to-edge coverage.
04 - Carefully roll the dough up like a Swiss roll, one turn at a time. Stop after each turn to layer in another third of the eggs, cheese, and ham, repeating this process twice until all filling is used and dough is fully rolled.
05 - Pinch the seam of the dough to seal and place the roll seam-side down on a parchment lined baking tray.
06 - Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then generously brush over the entire roll.
07 - Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling at the edges. Let rest for several minutes after baking.
08 - Cut thick slices to serve while warm, ensuring each piece has ample filling.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Allow the pizza dough to rest at room temperature prior to rolling for easier handling.
02 - Lightly undercook the scrambled eggs to prevent them drying out during baking.
03 - Rolls may be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking for convenient morning preparation.
04 - The baked rolls freeze well; reheat from thawed in an oven for a crisp crust.
