Instructions:
Prepare the Bread: Remove the crusts from the bread slices. You can use a rolling pin to flatten the bread slightly for easier rolling. This will also make the rolls more compact.
Spread the Cream Cheese: Evenly spread a thin layer of cream cheese (or soft cheese) on each slice of bread. This will help hold the fillings in place.
Add Fillings: Place a slice of deli ham and cheese on top of the cream cheese. Add spinach or arugula for a bit of crunch and freshness, if desired. You can also add a thin layer of mustard for extra flavor, or any other ingredient you like.
Roll the Bread: Carefully roll up each slice of bread tightly, ensuring the fillings stay inside. If the bread is stubborn, you can slightly moisten the edges with a bit of water or more cream cheese to seal the roll.
Optional Toasting: If you prefer a warm version, lightly toast the rolls in a pan with a tiny bit of butter or olive oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them a nice crunch.
Serve: Slice the tramezzini rolls into bite-sized pieces, arrange them on a plate, and serve! You can also serve them with a dip like ranch, tzatziki, or a balsamic glaze.
Variations:
Vegetarian: Use roasted veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, or cucumber with cream cheese or hummus.
Chicken or Turkey: Swap out the ham for cooked chicken or turkey breast.
Different Cheeses: Mix it up with different types of cheese like goat cheese, ricotta, or even a flavored cheese spread.
Herbs and Spices: Add fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme to the cream cheese for extra flavor.
These are perfect for picnics, parties, or even as a quick snack at home. Would you like any more ideas or variations?
