I remember way back in college, ham and cheese bread rolls were a thing, whether as a snack or lunch, because the demands of our hospital duties often didn't allow us to have the pleasure of enjoying a full meal. Now that I'm working, I often see this snack as a common offering in our school canteen, often made with hotdogs and cheese.
Since I'm not quite a fan of hams and hotdogs, I decided to come up with my own version - beef and mushroom. The cooking method is simple and preparation time is minimal so this could be one good idea to make as a baon for kids, plus it's nutritious and filling as well. I was already satisfied with just one bread roll.
YOU'LL BE NEEDING:
1 cup lean ground beef
1/2 cup Jolly mushrooms, chopped
one small onion, chopped
4 slices of wheat bread
4 strips of cheddar cheese
4 strips of mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp of melted butter
2 cups of Panko bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
cooking oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a skillet, melt butter and saute onions. Add in ground beef and cook it over low heat until no longer pink.
2. Add in mushroom, salt and pepper.
The beef-mushroom mixture yields more than the slices of bread indicated in the recipe so you can store it in a fridge and just heat it in a microwave when you make other bread rolls on another day.
3. While waiting for the beef-mushroom mixture to be cook, prepare the bread by flattening each slice until very thin.
4. Spread melted butter over each slice, then put a strip of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and apply a spoonful of beef-mushroom mixture on top. Roll bread into a log to enclose filling. Apply pressure as you roll it, and brush a bit of beaten egg on the corner of the bread to close it.
5. Then dip the bread roll into the beaten egg, and then roll it on the bread crumbs until fully coated.
6. In a wide, thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inch deep of oil. Place prepared bread rolls seam side down and fry until golden, turning on sides as needed. Remove from pan and drain of paper towels. Serve.
And that's it. This snack is not only perfect as a snack for kids, it can also be a filling meal for adults who are on a diet, or you can also make this as an appetizer for parties.
