Ham and Cheese Bread Roll

Ingredients:

10 slices, white loaf bread (Gardenia)

20 strips of cooked ham

20 strips cheddar cheese

20 strips of hotdog (optional)

2 eggs, beaten

2 cup bread crumbs

3 tablespoons condensed milk

cooking oil for deep frying

toothpick

1. Flatten each slice of bread using a roller pin. (I use long rolling pin without handles).
2. Lay flattened bread. Arrange 2 strips of ham, 2 strips of hotdog and 2 strips of cheese at one side and roll. Apply some pressure for a few seconds to hold and maintain the roll in shape. Slot in toothpick on both ends to stick. 
3. Deep the roll in the beaten egg with condensed milk then in the bread crumbs, ensure that the bread is uniformly coated with egg mixture and bread crumbs.
4. Repeat process on the remaining slices of bread, keep aside.
5. Heat generous amount of oil in a big frying pan until it start to smoke, set the stove to moderate to low heat. Carefully place each roll with the seam at the bottom in the frying pan, fry for 1 to 1/2 minutes or until just browned and constantly flipping to maintain uniform cooking.
6. When done remove from pan and drain oil in absorbent papers. To serve you may cut the roll in half crosswise and arrange in a platter.

TIP: Fry at moderate heat use a big frying pan with generous amount of oil. If it’s possible fry the bread roll altogether in one batch. Burnt bread crumbs will be sticking on next batch of bread rolls if fry by cluster/batch.
