Ham Rolls

Marlene.'s Note:

I LOVE these. I make them and can't stop eating them. Even like to eat them cold out of the fridge. I don't like making them much , they are a tad time consuming! But Mmm!! Prep time includes the dough rising and rolling out and filling to the best of my ability. And the amount you get ... who knows!!! It depends on if you make them small or larger.

This is very good, but I used Pillsbury cresant rolls, and saved a lot of time. I also used 2 cloves garlic, 1 small bell pepper and sauteed them with the onion. Also added shredded cheese.
You can't fit a lot in each roll, and it's a little hard to keep the filling from falling out, but it was worth saving time for me.

Very tasty and a great way to use up Christmas ham leftovers. I carmelized my onions and used at least 3 times what the recipe called for. I ran out of eggs so I skipped the egg wash and they still came out fine. Fantastic hot or cold with mustard. Yummy!

I just read about these in a forum about using up ham and whipped them up in my bread machine. I used half butter/short. I ground my ham/onion together in the food proc. I just cut my dough into about 28 pieces and rolled each in a circle. I just had two and can attest to their being delicious! The dough is really tender and the ham/onion flavor is great. The egg wash really gives an attractive sheen. GREAT way to use up ham, Marlene!
