Sandwich Swiss roll Recipe

Sandwich Swiss Roll is a fun and savory twist on the classic dessert Swiss roll. Instead of being a sweet treat, this roll is filled with sandwich ingredients like deli meats, cheese, and vegetables, making it a great appetizer or light meal. The bread is flattened and rolled up with your choice of fillings to create an impressive spiral when sliced.

Sandwich Swiss Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese or mayonnaise
• 100g (3.5 oz) deli meats (such as ham, turkey, or chicken)
• 100g (3.5 oz) sliced Swiss cheese or other cheese
• 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:
   • Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
   • Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it’s thin and pliable.
2. Spread the Filling:
   • Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or mayonnaise evenly over each slice of flattened bread. This helps to bind the filling and keep everything together.
3. Add the Fillings:
   • Place a slice of deli meat and Swiss cheese on top of each bread slice.
   • Add thin slices of cucumber and tomato, and sprinkle with shredded lettuce.
   • Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
4. Roll the Sandwich:
   • Starting at one end, gently roll the bread into a tight spiral, being careful to keep the fillings in place.
   • Press the roll lightly to seal the edge of the bread.
5. Chill (optional):
   • For easier slicing, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow them to set.
6. Slice and Serve:
   • Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels (about 1 inch thick).
   • Arrange the sandwich Swiss rolls on a platter and serve as a snack, appetizer, or part of a lunch spread.

Variations:

• Vegetarian: Use grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or roasted eggplant instead of deli meats.
• Spreads: Try different spreads like hummus, pesto, or mustard for added flavor.
• Additional fillings: You can also add other ingredients like avocado slices, sprouts, or olives.

These Sandwich Swiss Rolls are perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, or parties, and they’re fun to make and eat!
