Ingredients
- 12 mini bread rolls
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your mini bread bowls are perfectly baked and warmed through.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will help prevent the bread from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded cheese, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. The cream cheese will help bind the filling together and add a creamy texture.
- Take each mini bread roll and carefully cut off the top third, creating a lid. Use your fingers or a small spoon to hollow out the inside of each roll, leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell. Be gentle to avoid tearing the bread.
- Fill each hollowed-out mini bread roll with the ham and cheese mixture, packing it in generously. Make sure to fill them to the top for maximum flavor.
- Place the filled mini bread bowls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
- Once all the mini bread bowls are filled and on the baking sheet, place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
- Remove the mini bread bowls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to handle and will prevent burns.
- Serve the hot ham cheese stuffed mini bread bowls warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy as a delicious appetizer or a fun snack!
Tips
- • Choose fresh, soft mini bread rolls that are sturdy enough to hold the filling • Make sure to hollow out the bread rolls gently to maintain their structure • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing • Don't overfill the bread bowls to prevent spillage during baking • For extra crispiness, brush the bread edges with melted butter before baking • Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss, cheddar, or a blend • Let the bread bowls rest for a few minutes after baking to prevent burning your mouth • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture • These can be prepared in advance and quickly reheated in the oven
