- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 6 slices turkey or beef ham (optional)

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. -
Prepare the pastry
Lightly flour your work surface and gently roll out each puff pastry sheet to even it out.
-
Add the filling
- If using, place one slice of ham on each pastry sheet.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar over the top.
-
Shape the rolls
Roll each sheet tightly into a log, starting from one edge.
Press along the seam and the ends to seal so the cheese doesn’t leak out while baking. -
Apply the egg wash
Brush the surface of each roll with the beaten egg to help them bake to a shiny, golden finish. -
Add the toppings
Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds and black seeds to add extra flavor and crunch. -
Bake
Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until they are puffed up, golden brown, and crispy. -
Serve
Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm and enjoy the melty, cheesy center.
Tips & Variations
-
Customize the filling:
Swap in your favorite cheeses such as gouda, parmesan, or feta. You can also add finely chopped vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition. -
Reheating:
These cheese rolls are best straight from the oven, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness. -
Serving ideas:
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, tea time, lunch boxes, or as a crowd-pleasing party appetizer, these Golden Crispy Cheese Rolls are always a hit. Serve them with ketchup, garlic yogurt sauce, or your favorite dip for an extra burst of flavor.
