Children usually don’t like to eat vegetables (of course, there are exceptions), so I have to try to make them more appealing by hiding them in some other food. Here I used ham!
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Cheap
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Cooking time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 2 people
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 10.5 oz Swiss chard (already boiled)
- 1 Egg
- 5 teaspoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- to taste Pepper
- 8 slices Cooked ham
- 2.8 oz Cheese (melting type (like Galbanino))
- to taste Butter (spray)
- to taste Breadcrumbs
Preparation
Blend the previously boiled Swiss chard until it becomes a cream. If you want to make it more flavorful, you can sauté it in a pan with a little butter first.
In a bowl, mix the chard, egg, Parmesan cheese, and pepper.
Place a slice of ham on a surface, add some filling and a few pieces of melting cheese inside. Roll up the ham and secure it with toothpicks.
In a baking pan, spray some butter on the bottom and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Place the ham rolls on top and bake for about 20 minutes at 392°F.
A few minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle the rolls with a little grated cheese.
Notes
Usually, when I have some time, I pre-cook the chard and freeze it in food bags. Practical and quick.
For convenience and to avoid using too much, I use spray butter instead of stick butter. Feel free to use the latter.
