Ingredients You’ll Need

-
6 slices mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite melty cheese
-
6 soft bread rolls or tortilla wraps (depending on your style)

2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
-
Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Ham Roll with Cheese and Garlic
Step 1: Prep the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Lay out the rolls or wraps. Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on each. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Brush and Season
Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture. If you’re using wraps, you can brush both sides lightly. Sprinkle with a little extra cheese or herbs if you like.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. If you’re using tortilla wraps, bake a bit less—around 10 minutes—just until lightly crisp.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Slice in half if you’re serving as finger food, or leave whole for a satisfying snack or lunch option.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls go well with tomato soup, a green salad, or even just a side of mustard or dipping sauce. They’re also great served cold in lunchboxes the next day.
Ham Roll with Cheese and Garlic is the kind of easy dish that feels comforting and homemade with minimal effort. Cheesy, warm, and filled with garlicky flavor, it’s perfect for anyone who wants something tasty without spending hours in the kitchen.
