Ham and cheese rolls might not sound like the most exciting dish in the world, but if you’re thinking about a slice each of ham and cheese between two pieces of white bread, that’s pretty far from what the following recipe has to offer.

These aren’t hard to make either. Since most of the time they’re in the oven, you can prepare other brunch dishes then serve these baked ham and cheese rolls alongside.
