Here’s a crispy, savory Cheese & Ham Spring Rolls recipe—perfect as a snack, appetizer, or party bite 🧀🥓🌯
Cheese & Ham Spring Rolls (Makes 8–10)
Ingredients
- 8–10 spring roll wrappers
- 150 g (5 oz) cooked ham, finely chopped
- 150 g (5 oz) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1–2 tsp mustard or mayonnaise (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tbsp oil for brushing or frying
- Oil for deep frying (if deep frying)
Instructions
- Prepare filling
- In a bowl, mix ham, cheese, onion, mustard/mayo, and season with salt & pepper.
- Assemble spring rolls
- Place a wrapper on a flat surface, with a corner pointing toward you.
- Spoon 1–2 tbsp of filling near the corner.
- Fold bottom corner over filling, fold sides in, then roll tightly to seal.
- Use a little water or beaten egg to seal the final edge.
- Cook spring rolls
Option 1 – Deep fry:
- Heat oil to 175°C / 350°F.
- Fry rolls 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Option 2 – Oven bake:
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Brush rolls lightly with oil and bake 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
Option 3 – Air fryer:
- Preheat air fryer to 180°C / 360°F.
- Cook 10–12 minutes, turning halfway.
- Serve
- Serve hot with ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or mustard dip.
Tips
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting while cooking
- Brush lightly with oil for even browning if baking or air frying
- Can prepare rolls in advance and freeze before cooking
Variations
- Vegetarian: Replace ham with sautéed mushrooms or spinach
- Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños
- Cheese-heavy: Mix mozzarella and cream cheese for extra gooeyness
I can also give a quick 10-minute oven version that’s lighter and still crispy if you want.
Do you want me to do that?
